About John

John Chauhan works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns using a person-centred approach that places the client at the centre of sessions. He is listed with NCPS and has four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.

He draws on lived experience of trauma, complex post-traumatic stress reactions, depression, anxiety and self-harm to inform his practice. This helps him recognise familiar patterns and speak directly about common difficulties, while keeping each person's experience distinct.

Sessions combine listening with practical tools. Some meetings focus on reflective, client-led conversation. Others introduce techniques such as breathing and anxiety strategies, mindfulness exercises, cognitive-style approaches, imagery work, self-soothing methods and activities that support wellbeing.

John says he works in an integrative way, blending methods to match what the person wants from counselling. He notes particular experience helping young adults roughly aged 18 to 40, though he does not restrict his practice to this group.

Areas he commonly addresses include addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career matters, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. He also focuses on guilt and shame, self-harm, self-love and other young adult issues.

Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and practical arrangements. The counsellor asks people to begin by using the online matching process and scheduling a first session so they can agree goals and the best way of working together.

How client-centred practice translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects what is said and supports the client's priorities, which can help with depression, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

John also works integratively, drawing on short practical techniques alongside person-centred listening. That can include mindfulness exercises, breathing and anxiety strategies, imagery work and self-soothing practices that people can try between sessions to manage stress or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and adjust methods over time to fit what works for you. He aims to agree clear aims and checkpoints so you can see whether the way of working is helping.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as session formats are set by the counsellor's practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use exercises such as mindfulness and breathing in the moment so these tools become part of everyday routines.
