About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal is a BACP-accredited therapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and a range of life challenges. Prerna approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect an individual’s needs and goals. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Clients can expect a collaborative style in which Prerna listens carefully and helps identify practical steps toward a more fulfilling life. She supports work on intimacy, self-esteem, parenting and family dynamics, career concerns, and neurodiversity-related needs among other areas. Prerna values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to provide steady encouragement throughout the process.

Prerna maintains a separate job during the week and so offers sessions within specific time slots. She is open to working with international clients and provides services in English, Bengali, and Hindi. Her practice emphasizes tailored, person-focused care that meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches for online therapy and personal change

Prerna uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s concerns guide the work - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and building self-understanding, and it can help with anxiety, relationship struggles, and self-esteem issues. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for stress, sleep difficulties, and coping with strong emotions. For clients affected by traumatic experiences, Prerna draws on trauma-focused principles to carefully process difficult memories and support recovery at a pace that feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Prerna works collaboratively with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what works best and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access a registered professional from wherever you are, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
