John Chauhan, NCPS

John Chauhan is a counsellor who aims to put the client at the centre of each session. He offers a calm, human approach and focuses on helping people access their own strengths. He is straightforward and pragmatic in sessions, and prefers short, clear conversations that fit into busy lives.

He draws on four years of practice and personal experience with trauma, complex post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and self-harm. That lived experience informs how he listens and the examples he uses, but he treats every person as unique. He describes his style as humanistic and empowering, centred on the person in front of him.

Sessions may include compassionate listening or practical skills depending on what someone needs that week. Techniques he uses include mindfulness, breathing and anxiety tools, imagination work, journalling and behavioural suggestions to improve sleep, routine and wellbeing. He can also offer tailored ideas for hobbies, self-soothing and building self-esteem.

John often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, intimacy-related worries, parenting concerns and career stress. He also focuses on guilt and shame, self-harm, self-love and issues common to young adults.

He works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. New people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to availability. Fees are subscription-based and can be cancelled at any time.

How John’s client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects back what matters most to the client, which can help when coping with anxiety, depression, grief or trauma.

John combines caring listening with practical skill-building when useful. That means some sessions focus on being heard, while others introduce breathing exercises, mindfulness, imagery and simple behavioural steps to improve sleep, manage anger or reduce anxiety. These methods suit people who want both emotional support and concrete tools.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as things change. Goals, preferences and day-to-day demands shape how therapy proceeds so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let the counsellor and client meet face to face; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates between sessions or a different way to express thoughts without being on camera. These formats help fit counselling around work, study and family commitments while still allowing focused support from registered or accredited professionals.
