John Chauhan
Practical, person-centred support for everyday struggles
About John
John Chauhan offers a direct, human-centred style for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief and related concerns. He puts the person at the centre of sessions and focuses on what matters to them. Sessions aim to help people access their own strengths and find practical ways forward.
John draws on his own lived experience of trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm to inform how he listens and responds.
Background and approach
That background helps him recognise familiar patterns and speak plainly about recovery. He tends to work well with young adults in a similar age range, though he is open to people outside that bracket. His approach is client-centred.
That means the pace, focus and techniques change to suit the person in front of him. Some meetings are gentle and listening-led, while others include practical strategies for wellbeing and stress management. Techniques John commonly uses include anxiety tools, mindfulness exercises, imagery work, hobby development and self-soothing methods.
He also brings elements from cognitive approaches when they fit the person's aims. Sessions are adapted to the issues presented, whether they are grief, relationship problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain or career stress. John is registered with the NCPS.
He offers conversations that balance compassion with clear suggestions. If a concern falls beyond his expertise he will be honest and help you find an alternative route to appropriate support.

How John uses client-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on placing the person at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and questions around identity.John adapts the client-centred style to online formats by following the person’s lead and offering practical tools when wanted. He blends listening-led sessions with techniques such as mindfulness exercises, imagery work and simple anxiety strategies to match your goals. The choice of approach is collaborative and discussed openly so you both agree on what will be tried.
Online therapy with John is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations where visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, reflective writing or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and family life.
