About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship tensions, LGBT-related concerns, addictions and grief. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.
Prerna favours a listening-first style. She treats people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions begin by finding what you want to change, then setting small, practical steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening, trauma-focused work and mindfulness techniques.
Background and approach
She uses narrative and somatic ideas to help people tell their story and notice how the body holds difficult feelings. This mix aims to make therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Prerna has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She balances therapy with another work role, so she offers appointments in specific time slots. She offers sessions in English, Bengali and Hindi and accepts international clients. Sessions can be scheduled to fit available times and are shaped around the person’s goals and circumstances.

Ways trauma work and mindfulness translate online
Trauma-focused therapy helps people name and make sense of painful experiences. Online sessions can guide grounding and pacing so memories become easier to sit with over time. Client-centred therapy gives space for each person to set the agenda and feel heard, which helps when dealing with relationship, identity or self-esteem issues.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and support sleep and anger management. These techniques are easy to practise between sessions and adapt to short exercises during video or phone meetings.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try methods together and adjust the plan as needed. Decisions about which techniques to use come from ongoing collaboration rather than a fixed recipe.
Online work is practical and flexible. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversational slots. Phone sessions can be clearer when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel while keeping focus on steady progress.
