Approaches online and how they help
Prerna draws on client-centred work to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. This approach means conversations follow what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of thoughts and feelings and to develop calmer ways of responding to stress or anxiety.She may also use narrative ideas to help people make sense of their life stories and spot unhelpful patterns. Narrative work can be especially useful for relationship concerns, identity questions and coping with life changes. Choosing an approach is a joint process: the therapist will discuss options and agree a plan that matches goals, needs and preferences in conversation with the person.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats available before booking as these were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people connect from different locations, which supports international clients who wish to work remotely.
