Prerna Nautiyal, BACP

Prerna Nautiyal is a United Kingdom based therapist with five years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate style to her work and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's unique situation and priorities. Prerna works in English, Bengali, and Hindi and is available to international clients, offering flexible session formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and in-app messaging.

Her practice draws on client-centered listening, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed perspectives to support clients in building coping skills, improving communication, and exploring identity and intimacy concerns. Prerna aims to create a collaborative environment where clients set goals and shape the pace of therapy. She holds BACP registration - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - confirming her membership with a national counselling body. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can be difficult, and Prerna positions herself as a steady source of practical support and encouragement. She balances this work alongside another professional role during the week and therefore offers appointments within specific, limited time slots.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Prerna integrates client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, and trauma-focused approaches into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so the client leads the pace and focus of sessions; it is useful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved relationships, and support during life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and breathing skills to help manage symptoms of stress and anxiety and to enhance emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. Trauma-focused therapy provides ways to address the impact of past harm by building safety, processing difficult memories at a manageable pace, and developing stronger coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Prerna works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging offer practical flexibility for clients with busy schedules, limited local options, or caregiving and work commitments. These formats allow registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across time zones and locations while making it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
