Prerna Nautiyal, BACP

Prerna Nautiyal is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family conflicts and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Bengali and Hindi. Prerna works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.

Prerna focuses on creating a respectful and compassionate space. She listens openly and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and to identify small, manageable steps forward.

She uses client-centred ideas to keep the person’s perspective central, and draws on mindfulness to help with stress and emotional regulation. Narrative techniques are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves, and trauma-focused and somatic methods can be used when past hurt affects day-to-day life.

Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She balances counselling with another role during the week, so her sessions are scheduled within set time slots.

Practical matters such as subscription fees and scheduling are handled through the platform. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session according to the available times.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places your experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens carefully and follows what matters most to you, helping you make choices and set goals that feel manageable. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and physical sensations so stress and anxious moments become easier to handle in daily life. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories you tell about yourself and helps you consider different ways of understanding your experiences, which can change how you relate to problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are easier to keep. For some people, not being on camera or choosing an audio call can be less draining; for others, seeing the therapist helps build connection. The therapist will discuss format and scheduling during the matching and booking process to find what fits your routine.
