About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addiction and LGBT-related issues. Prerna aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to talk about difficult experiences and make small, practical changes.

Prerna adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She uses client-centred methods to put the person’s priorities first. Mindfulness tools are used to help with overwhelming feelings and to build everyday coping skills. Narrative and somatic approaches are offered to help people make sense of painful memories and to reconnect with their body when stress is held physically.

With five years of professional experience, Prerna draws on different ways of working rather than one fixed method. She believes the right approach comes from listening first and deciding together what fits. That process may involve trying a few techniques and checking in about what helps.

Prerna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She combines this professional registration with a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She also works part-time in another role and offers sessions during specific time slots.

Sessions can be conducted in English, Bengali and Hindi. International clients are accepted. Before booking, people should check current session formats and times to make sure they match their needs.

Approaches used in online sessions and what to expect

Prerna draws on client-centred work to focus conversations on the person and their priorities. This approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to you, helping to shape goals and next steps together.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple exercises for managing tightness, worry and sleep problems. These practices are practical and aimed at being used between sessions to reduce intense feelings. Narrative therapy is offered to help people tell and reframe difficult life stories, which can be useful for processing grief, identity concerns and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Prerna will discuss options and choose methods together with each person based on their needs and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

The profile does not specify which session formats are in use, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to connect with this counsellor from outside the immediate local area, including international clients, as indicated in her profile.
