About John
John Chauhan is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions and anger. He also supports people facing trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem concerns and career stress.
He describes a human-centred way of working that places the person in the middle of sessions. He draws on his own lived experience with trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm to inform how he listens and responds. That background shapes how he talks with people who describe similar struggles.
John works in an integrative manner, combining approaches as needed. Some sessions focus on listening, while others offer practical suggestions such as anxiety techniques, mindfulness exercises, hobby development, cognitive-behavioural tools, imagery work, poetry, self-soothing methods and more. He adapts the mix to what the client needs.
He notes particular experience with young adults roughly aged 18 to 40, though he does not exclude people outside that range. He aims to be straightforward about when a concern falls beyond his skillset and will recommend other support if necessary.
To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location.
Client-centred and integrative approaches for online sessions
John works from a client-centred framework which means sessions focus on the person’s perspective and priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects what he hears, and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for people who want space to talk through anger, guilt, shame or grief without being pushed into a particular technique.He also uses practical techniques alongside listening. That can include simple cognitive-behavioural strategies to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, and guided imagery or self-soothing methods for times of strong emotion. These techniques help with stress, anxiety, sleeping problems and anger that builds up over time.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. John will work with each person to identify their goals, try approaches that suit their preferences, and adjust plans as progress and needs change.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or turn off video when that helps them engage more comfortably.
