About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, LGBT-related matters, anger, grief and addictions. Sessions are offered in English, Bengali and Hindi and she accepts international clients.

Prerna keeps sessions straightforward. She focuses on listening closely and letting people describe what they are facing. Conversations shape the next steps rather than a fixed protocol. She asks practical questions about what makes a situation worse or better and what the client wants to change first.

Her approach draws on client-centred work and mindfulness, with elements of narrative and somatic thinking when they help. That means she pays attention to how people tell their story, what thoughts and body sensations come up, and how small changes can make daily life easier. Trauma-focused ideas are used when past experiences are affecting present responses.

People who come for help with anger can expect clear, manageable techniques and space to talk through triggers. Prerna can help with work-related frustration, simmering resentment, and snapping at people at home. She also supports people dealing with sleep, eating, parenting pressures and career stress that feed into tense emotions.

She balances her counselling work with another role during the week, so session times are limited to particular slots. To begin, clients use the site matching system and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions can help

Client-centred work places the client's perspective at the core. The counsellor listens without steering and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to work out practical next steps.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting pulled into them. It can reduce the immediacy of anger and anxiety and help with sleep and stress. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Rewriting parts of those stories can change how problems are understood and handled.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Prerna will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the client which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration continues as progress is made and plans are adjusted.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the exercises and techniques used in person to a remote setting so clients can practise skills between sessions.
