About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She works with clients on LGBT-related difficulties, family conflict, grief, addiction, trauma and intimacy issues. Prerna also supports those coping with parenting stress, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD and changes in life circumstances.
Prerna uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience first. She listens without judgement and then shapes sessions around what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
Her aim is to build a comfortable space where people can talk through painful events, confusion about identity, or recurring patterns that cause distress. She draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage symptoms in day-to-day life. Narrative therapy ideas are used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to explore new perspectives.
Somatic and trauma-focused approaches are available when past hurt shows up in the body or in intrusive memories. Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She divides her time between this work and another role, so her available hours are limited to certain slots during the week.
Sessions are offered in English, Bengali and Hindi. People who choose to work with her typically first complete a short matching questionnaire. After that they can schedule sessions according to her available times and use the subscription arrangement that fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person’s experience and following their lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what you say, asks open questions and helps you clarify your goals. This approach is useful for people who want a non-judgemental space to talk about identity, relationships or day-to-day worries.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to manage stress and persistent anxious thoughts. Exercises may include brief breathing practices and noticing sensations, which can help with sleep, anxiety and anger regulation. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and tests whether those stories still fit; it can help when past labels or roles feel limiting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes accessing a therapist who speaks English, Bengali or Hindi simpler for people outside the immediate area.
