About John
John Chauhan offers a calm, person-focused space for people feeling overwhelmed by life’s pressures. He places the client at the centre of sessions and aims to help them tap into their own resources. His approach is direct and down-to-earth to suit a worrying day or a late-night scroll on your phone.
John draws on four years of counselling practice and a credential of NCPS. He speaks from lived experience with trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm, which informs how he listens. That background helps him recognise patterns and stay practical when someone is struggling.
Sessions can vary from quiet, compassionate listening to more active work. He may offer anxiety techniques, mindfulness exercises, grounding imagery, self-soothing methods, practical suggestions for wellbeing, or hobby-based ideas. He also uses elements of cognitive-behavioural approaches when helpful and adapts sessions to individual needs.
John often works with young adults and people in a similar age bracket, though he notes he can work with others too. He pays particular attention to concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, addiction, parenting and intimacy-related issues, along with guilt and shame, self-harm and self-love.
He aims for honest, straightforward conversation and will be clear if a case needs different support. To begin, the usual next step is a short match questionnaire and scheduling so a first meeting can be arranged.
How client-centred work fits with online counselling
Client-centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It relies on listening, empathy and creating space for someone to find their own answers. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and self-esteem by encouraging people to explore what matters to them.John blends listening-led sessions with practical tools. That means some meetings may be mainly compassionate listening, and others may include breathing or grounding exercises, mindfulness, or simple cognitive-behavioural suggestions. Together you would decide which combination suits your goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy lives because it reduces travel and makes scheduling simpler. Check the current session options before booking to confirm how meetings are arranged. The therapist can help choose an approach and session rhythm that works with your daily routine, whether you need shorter check-ins, practical techniques to use between sessions, or a more reflective hour to work through harder issues.
