Prerna Nautiyal , BACP

Prerna Nautiyal is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. She holds the BACP credential, indicating membership in a UK counselling and psychotherapy professional association, and brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to each therapeutic relationship.

Prerna works with clients on issues including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and family dynamics, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and challenges around self-esteem and career. She also offers focused support for matters such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment and communication problems, body image, and caregiver stress. Therapy is offered in English, Bengali, and Hindi to accommodate diverse language needs.

She follows person-centered and evidence-informed practices and tailors dialogue and treatment plans to match each person’s specific circumstances and goals. Prerna emphasizes collaboration and helps clients explore practical strategies and deeper personal work to move toward a more fulfilling life. She maintains a secondary job during the week, so her availability is limited to certain time slots, and she is currently accepting new and international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Prerna draws from client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and experiences and emphasizes empathy and collaboration to help people explore feelings and make meaningful changes. Mindfulness therapy is used to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-management skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Trauma-focused therapy offers targeted ways to address the effects of traumatic experiences and related symptoms, using strategies that aim to restore safety and a sense of agency.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Prerna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with Prerna is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person sessions are not possible.
