About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction and intimacy-related struggles. She works with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, anger, career pressures and ADHD.
Sessions are offered in English, Bengali and Hindi and she accepts international clients. Prerna uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's priorities first.
Background and approach
She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She draws on somatic approaches to notice how the body holds stress, and on mindfulness to help people build steady attention in daily life. In practical terms she blends narrative therapy techniques to help people reframe hard experiences and trauma-focused ideas when past harm affects current wellbeing.
This mix is used to suit what a person brings to sessions rather than applying a fixed formula. Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. That background informs a straightforward, respectful style in sessions.
She aims to make the process clear and manageable for people who may feel overwhelmed when they first get in touch. There are a range of online formats available including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit the therapist's available time slots.
How these approaches work online
Somatic Therapy pays attention to physical sensations and movement patterns that can carry stress. Online sessions can use guided awareness of breathing, posture and simple body-based exercises to help people notice and shift tension related to anxiety or trauma.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates a calm space where people choose what to bring to each session and set the pace for exploring difficult topics.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills that can be practised during the week. These techniques often help with sleep problems, anxiety and everyday stress by strengthening present-moment awareness and reducing reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether more body-focused, narrative or mindfulness-based work is most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping care consistent.
