About John
John Chauhan is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works mainly with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. Sessions are conducted in English and he has a particular interest in young adult issues and problems linked to guilt, shame and self-harm.
John describes a client-centred approach that places the person at the centre of sessions. He draws on a mix of methods to suit what an individual needs, alternating between listening and more active suggestions. That can include anxiety techniques, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural style exercises, imagery work, hobby development and self-soothing practices.
He also speaks from personal experience with trauma, complex post-traumatic stress symptoms, depression, anxiety and self-harm. That lived experience informs how he talks through sensitive material and how he recognises common patterns in people facing similar issues. He notes particular ease working with young adults roughly in his age bracket but does not exclude other ages.
Sessions can shift between reflective listening and practical skills in the same course of work. John says he adapts pace and focus depending on presenting concerns and what a person wants to try. He mentions using creative elements such as poetry alongside more structured exercises when helpful.
To begin, he invites an initial consultation to see whether his way of working fits a person’s needs. He aims to be frank about when a concern would be better addressed elsewhere, and to help people find an appropriate next step.

How his approaches translate to online work
John uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and priorities. That approach is useful for issues such as grief, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem because it gives the client control over what is discussed.He also blends practical techniques into sessions when helpful. Examples he uses include anxiety-reduction exercises, mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioural style tasks that help with sleep problems, stress and depression by teaching coping skills and small behavioural changes.
Finding the right method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. Sessions can move between listening and active skills work depending on how things are going and what the client prefers.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled more conveniently. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care while adapting techniques so they work remotely.
