About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal offers support for common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship tensions, grief and trauma. She also helps with issues around identity, addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem and life changes. Prerna writes in plain language and focuses on practical ways to make daily life feel more manageable.
She takes a person-centred approach that begins with listening. Conversations are shaped around what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
Sessions can include mindfulness techniques, body-focused methods, narrative work and trauma-focused strategies when relevant. Prerna draws on five years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP, which reflects her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
This background informs how she plans sessions and keeps work goal-oriented. In practice she aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where clients can talk through specific parenting stresses and other life demands. She offers flexible appointment types to fit different routines, while tailoring the pace and style to each person.
Prerna usually balances her counselling work alongside another job and keeps certain weekly time slots for sessions. She speaks English, Bengali and Hindi, and she is available to work with international clients. The initial step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling to suit the agreed times.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding through open conversation. Online sessions use that same listening-first stance to help a person feel heard, name priorities and set practical goals for parenting or life stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills that can be practised during or between sessions. These exercises often help reduce anxiety and improve sleeping and daily routines when used regularly. Narrative Therapy looks at personal stories and how they shape current responses. In sessions people can rewrite problem-focused narratives to create different ways of relating to parenting, relationships and self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences and will adapt techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections and times when a brief exchange fits better into a day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and other commitments.
