Prerna
32 | Mumbai | Founder & Counselling Psychologist | Never Married
"Say things as they are, stay kind while saying them, and never lose yourself in the process"
Prerna values being real in her interactions, even when it feels uncomfortable, because she believes clarity is kinder than confusion. At the same time, she is mindful of how she expresses herself, choosing to be gentle without diluting the truth.
There is a quiet strength in the way she balances self-respect with empathy. She does not believe in shrinking herself to be accepted, but she is equally aware of not hurting others in the process. This balance shapes how she moves through relationships and decisions.
When it comes to care and connection, Prerna expresses it through presence, emotional support, and standing by people when it truly matters. She has learned, through her own experiences, that holding on should never come at the cost of self-respect. There is a deep emotional awareness in Prerna's inner world, shaped by both her personal experiences and conscious reflection. She tends to think deeply about connection, often trying to understand not just what is happening, but why it feels the way it does.
Her journey shows a willingness to look inward, take responsibility, and grow from it instead of avoiding discomfort. This self-awareness makes her both thoughtful and intentional in how she approaches relationships.
She is likely to connect best with someone who is emotionally mature, calm, and secure in himself, someone who doesn't get intimidated by honest conversations and is ready for a serious, committed relationship.
Prerna would feel most comfortable with a partner who respects her clarity and values, and matches her intent to build something meaningful rather than staying unsure or confused. He should be kind, progressive in his thinking, and respectful towards her individuality, without forcing traditional roles or expectations on her. She would appreciate someone who communicates openly, is willing to grow emotionally, and can handle difficult conversations with patience instead of withdrawing.
At the same time, Prerna would do well with someone who brings a sense of stability and reassurance, helping her feel safe and accepted even when her fears show up, while also sharing her interest in thoughtful conversations, social awareness, and building a purposeful life together.
Driven by a passion for mental health, Prerna is a Counseling Psychologist and the founder of her own venture, which focuses on building the capacities of mental health professionals.
An alumna of TISS Mumbai, her work involves collaborating with diverse stakeholders to bridge knowledge gaps within the psychology fraternity. She balances her professional dedication with a commitment to creating meaningful social impact.
Prerna enjoys a fairly simple and grounded lifestyle. She likes unwinding with movies, especially ones with a social message-along with staying updated through political discussions, debates, and informative content. Music and stand-up comedy are also things she turns to when she wants to relax.
She prefers quiet, meaningful routines over anything too loud or hectic-like going for evening walks, dance workouts, or just spending time reflecting. She's quite close to her parents and shares a strong emotional bond with them, while also maintaining her independence.
Socially, she's not someone who enjoys large gatherings or superficial interactions; she values deeper, one-on-one conversations and meaningful connections.
Overall, she leans towards a lifestyle that is calm, thoughtful, and rooted in personal growth, where she can keep learning, stay emotionally aware, and build genuine connections with people around her.
