About Prachi
Prachi Vij is a counsellor and a BACP member with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions can be in English, Gujarati, Hindi or Punjabi.
Prachi uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences influence present feelings and behaviour. She focuses on patterns that repeat in relationships and emotional life, and talks these through with clients to help them understand what drives those patterns. Conversations aim to make hidden or automatic reactions easier to recognise.
Her approach is reflective and conversational. Sessions look at feelings, memories and relationships and how these affect daily life. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, communication difficulties, and separation or divorce.
Prachi also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation and questions about life purpose. She works with mood concerns including post-traumatic stress and difficulties around pregnancy and childbirth. The focus can be short-term problem work or longer-term exploration, depending on what a person wants.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Prachi accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary with location, so confirm fees when you make contact.
How psychodynamic work can be used online
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that form from early relationships and past experiences. Online sessions with this approach usually involve reflective conversation about feelings, memories and repeated ways of acting. This can help with relationship difficulties, mood problems and issues linked to trauma. The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss what matters to you and explain how psychodynamic work might fit. Together you can try ways of working that suit your goals and preferences. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life and to keep appointments without travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins or longer sessions if that helps your schedule. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps maintain continuity of care when distance or commitments would otherwise make face-to-face meetings difficult.Areas of expertise
