Prachi Vij, BACP

Prachi Vij is a counsellor who draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of difficult periods in life. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Prachi aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly and begin to untangle patterns that feel stuck.

She focuses on how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviours. Sessions invite reflection on attachment, abandonment and identity, and on how those threads affect relationships and self-worth. This approach can be helpful for people navigating life transitions, including midlife crisis concerns and questions about life purpose.

Prachi explains things plainly and keeps therapy collaborative. She will encourage noticing recurring patterns and linking current difficulties to earlier experiences. The work can include processing grief, managing impulsivity, and addressing body image or feelings of isolation.

Prachi trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and clinical psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of direct experience as a counsellor. Her background includes roles in clinics, universities, schools and charities, which informs her flexible approach.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences influence present feelings and relationships. It encourages noticing repeating patterns, impulses and emotions that often have roots in earlier life events. This approach can be useful when people want to understand why they react a certain way in close relationships or during major life transitions.

In practice, psychodynamic conversations slow things down to look for meaning under the surface. The therapist pays attention to feelings that come up in the room and helps link them to past experiences. This can help with issues such as attachment problems, grief, midlife questioning and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will work with the person to decide whether longer-term psychodynamic work or a shorter focused course fits better. Goals, preferences and day-to-day demands guide that choice so the plan suits the person's life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people choose remote therapy because it can fit around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are busy, or audio-only options when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the way they work to help therapy fit into everyday life.
