John Chauhan

John Chauhan is a counsellor who aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He places each person at the centre of the work and helps them find strengths they already have. He writes plainly and talks about common struggles such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and anger. Clients are offered a calm, non-judgemental space to speak and to try things that might help.

John uses a client-centred approach, meaning conversations follow the client’s pace and priorities. He combines listening with practical tools when useful, such as mindfulness exercises, breathing and anxiety techniques, guided imagery, and self-soothing methods. He also draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas and creative tasks like poetry when that fits the person’s needs.

He has four years of experience and holds the NCPS credential, which appears on his profile. He also shares lived experience of trauma, complex post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and self-harm, and uses that perspective when it may help others feel understood. He often supports young adults and people navigating career or identity transitions.

Sessions can range from compassionate listening to goal-focused work. John will be clear if an issue is beyond his scope and suggest other options. He works in English and practices from the United Kingdom. If someone wants to begin, he asks them to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first meeting.

How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers understanding, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions; this can be useful for issues like stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and anger.

John also blends listening with practical techniques when useful, such as mindfulness, breathing exercises and guided imagery. These tools are explained in simple steps and practised together, which can help with sleep problems, low mood and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The counsellor will ask about goals, symptoms and preferences, then adjust session focus over time. This means sessions can move between gentle listening and skill-building as needs change.

Session formats are not specified on the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy around daily life by reducing travel and making it easier to have shorter check-ins, use audio-only conversations when that suits, or practise exercises between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can support clients through these flexible arrangements while working collaboratively to find what helps most.
