About John
John Chauhan is a counsellor who puts the person at the centre of each session. He offers conversations that aim to be human, down-to-earth and practical. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs right now, whether that is listening, new skills or gentle challenges.
He draws on four years of experience and his own lived experience of trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm to inform his work. That background helps him recognise common patterns and speak plainly about difficult topics.
Background and approach
He explains techniques simply and checks in to see what helps. John uses a client-centred base and brings other methods together as needed. Some sessions focus on compassionate listening.
Others include anxiety techniques, mindfulness, imagery, or practical ideas for daily wellbeing such as hobbies and self-soothing exercises. He often works with young adults and people who want a therapist who understands contemporary pressures. He is open to adjusting session style and pace to suit different needs and preferences.
If an issue is outside his scope, he will say so and suggest other options. Sessions may include short practical exercises, space to reflect, and collaborative planning for small changes. The aim is to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and the other concerns they bring in a way that fits their life.
How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on giving the client space to be heard and understood. The counsellor reflects what the client says and helps them find their own answers. This approach helps with anxiety, self-esteem and relationship worries by building trust and clarity.John also combines that base with practical tools when helpful, such as mindfulness, breathing and imagery exercises. Those additions are offered only when they suit a person’s needs and preferences and can help with stress, sleeping issues and coping after loss.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try different ways of working to find what fits. Sessions can shift between listening, skill-building and short practical tasks depending on how things are going.
Online therapy can be flexible and fit around daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions, try brief follow-ups, or fit therapy into a busy week.
