Prerna Nautiyal, BACP

Prerna Nautiyal is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiver stress, and neurodiversity-related matters among others. Prerna approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit the specific needs and goals of the individual.

Prerna holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to professional standards of practice. She offers therapy in English, Bengali, and Hindi, and is available to work with international clients. While she brings clinical approaches such as client-centered work, mindfulness practices, narrative techniques, somatic awareness, and trauma-focused strategies to her sessions, she emphasizes tailoring the method to what best supports each client’s progress.

Prerna recognizes that seeking help is a courageous step and aims to provide a supportive, collaborative environment for change. She balances her therapy work with another professional role during the week, so her appointment availability is offered in specific time slots to accommodate that schedule.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Prerna integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and goals of work - this approach is often helpful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and navigating relationship concerns. She also uses mindfulness therapy, which introduces practical attention and grounding strategies to help manage stress, anxiety, and mood regulation by cultivating greater present-moment awareness. For people affected by trauma, Prerna applies trauma-focused techniques aimed at reducing the ongoing impact of past harm and helping clients develop safer ways to cope and process difficult memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Prerna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress and insight develop.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These options enable consistent support, varied communication styles, and practical convenience while working with licensed professionals and therapists to make steady, client-focused progress.
