About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and mood concerns. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and addiction-related worries. Parents and individuals with concerns about sleep, eating, or self-esteem can find practical help.
Prerna communicates in English, Bengali and Hindi to reach a wider range of people. Prerna works in a warm and respectful way. She listens first and tailors conversations to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on simple steps you can try between meetings. She aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Her approach draws on client-centred principles and mindfulness practices.
That means the person is at the centre of the work and attention is given to present-moment awareness and coping skills. Narrative and somatic ideas also appear in sessions to help people reframe difficult stories and notice how stress shows up in the body. Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration.
She combines that background with a practical, down-to-earth style. She is mindful of people's cultural and language needs and adjusts conversations accordingly. Online and remote formats are offered so people can fit therapy around work and family life.
The first step is a short matching form and a scheduled session to see if the working style feels right. Prerna aims to help people take steady steps toward feeling better. Over time she helps clients build tools for coping with life changes, managing emotions, and improving communication.
The focus is on realistic goals and gentle progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches for online therapy and practical support
Prerna commonly uses client-centred work, which means she follows what matters most to the person in the room and adapts sessions to their pace. This approach helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter to them.She also brings mindfulness therapy into online sessions, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions. Mindfulness can be useful for recurring anxiety, sleep problems and staying calm during difficult moments.
Those two approaches are often combined with narrative and somatic ideas to help reframe personal stories and notice how tension appears in the body. This mix can help when dealing with trauma, relationship patterns or long-standing stress responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Prerna treats it as collaborative. She will work with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, lifestyle and comfort with online formats, and she will check in about what is or isn't helpful as therapy progresses.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience and subtle cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options allow shorter check-ins or a different way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments and to continue care when travel or distance would otherwise interrupt it.
