About John

John Chauhan is a counsellor who places the person at the heart of the work. He aims to listen carefully and help people access their own strengths. Sessions are straightforward and practical, focused on what the client needs right now.

He draws on personal experience with trauma, complex post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and self-harm to inform his approach. That lived perspective shapes how he responds, especially when people describe similar struggles.

Background and approach

John uses a client-centred style that lets conversations follow the client's concerns. Some sessions are gentle and listening-focused. Others include practical strategies for anxiety, grief, self-soothing and daily wellbeing.

He often introduces simple tools such as breathing work, mindfulness, imagery or hobby planning to support change between sessions. Cognitive-style techniques and creative options like poetry may also be used when helpful. John has four years' experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential.

He commonly supports people with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Many younger adults find his way of working familiar and accessible, though he will work with adults of other ages too. He aims to be honest about when a referral elsewhere would better meet someone's needs.

Ways of working John names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How John adapts client-centred work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own resources and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what matters most to the client. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and the impacts of trauma because it centres the client's experience and pace.

John also combines listening with practical techniques when needed. He may offer mindfulness exercises, breathing practices, simple cognitive-style tools and creative options such as imagery or poetry. These are introduced collaboratively so the client can try what feels useful and adjust as they go.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. John will help clients choose techniques based on their goals, current needs and day-to-day life. He treats the process as a collaboration, checking in and changing direction if something is not helpful.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter exchanges, written reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life, and to access a therapist from different parts of the United Kingdom.
