Prerna Nautiyal , BACP

Prerna Nautiyal is a UK-licensed therapist who brings respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care to people working through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, LGBT-related concerns, and a broad range of other life challenges. With a background marked by BACP credentialing - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised UK professional body - she frames therapy around each client's distinct needs and strengths. She works collaboratively to shape conversations and treatment plans so they reflect what matters most to the individual seeking support.

Clients can expect a tailored approach that honours their pace and preferences, whether they are addressing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting struggles, mood concerns or issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Prerna emphasises practical and emotional support, encouraging the courage it takes to pursue a more fulfilling life while offering steady guidance through change. She is available for online work with international clients and conducts sessions in English, Bengali, and Hindi.

Prerna combines her clinical experience with the reality of a dual-role schedule and so maintains specific availability windows during the week. She aims to be clear about scheduling from the start and to match clients with plans that are realistic and sustainable for long-term progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Prerna uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of treatment - this approach helps people who need validation, clearer self-understanding, and support making personal decisions. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood fluctuations. When trauma is part of a client's history, she draws on trauma-focused therapy principles to gently address traumatic material and build coping strategies tailored to each person's needs.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative part of therapy. Prerna works with clients to identify which methods suit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access that fits varied schedules and locations. These formats make it easier for clients to attend regularly, integrate support into busy lives, and continue therapy even when circumstances change.
