About Preeti
Preeti Bath is a counsellor with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Preeti offers both short-term and longer-term therapy and aims to make the first steps into counselling less daunting for people who are nervous about change.
Her way of working draws on Narrative Therapy and other approaches to help people tell their stories differently. She listens for the themes that feel unhelpful and helps clients separate themselves from those problem stories.
Background and approach
This can make room for new choices and new ways of relating to others. Preeti also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when these fit a person's goals. That means she may help people spot thought patterns, try small behavioural changes, and look at emotional bonds that affect relationships.
Sessions are practical and aimed at everyday problems like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She supports people facing life transitions such as career shifts, divorce and parenting pressures. Other areas she addresses include trauma and abuse, body image, attachment issues and compassion fatigue.
Preeti works with LGBT concerns and a range of intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Preeti directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Preeti draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they carry. This approach focuses on how problems are described and looks for alternative storylines that allow different choices in life and relationships.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking patterns and try practical changes in daily routines. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and stress by testing new behaviours and noticing their effects.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your goals, try different ways of working and adapt methods to suit your needs and preferences. That process is collaborative and paced to what you want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls are good for conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text works well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when being on camera is difficult. These formats help people fit counselling into busy lives and different time zones.
