About John
John Chauhan places the person in the centre of therapy. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. He aims to help people access their own strengths and make small, practical changes that feel manageable.
He describes his work as humanistic and empowering, drawing on client-centred principles that focus on the person’s experience. Sessions may range from compassionate listening to practical suggestions for wellbeing, such as breathing and grounding techniques, mindfulness exercises, and hobby development. Cognitive-behavioural ideas and imagery work are sometimes used as tools within this approach.
John has lived experience with trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm, and he says this background helps him relate to people who have faced similar difficulties. He has four years of counselling experience and works particularly with young adults in the 18–40 age bracket, though he does not limit himself strictly by age.
He offers an integrative style, adapting each session to what the person needs that day. Some meetings focus on listening and understanding, while others include practical exercises like self-soothing techniques and havening. Poetry and creative approaches also appear when they feel helpful.
People who want a straightforward, down-to-earth counsellor may find his manner easy to follow. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.
How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on placing the person at the heart of sessions and listening without judgement. This approach helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues by prioritising their own goals and pace.John also blends practical techniques alongside a client-centred base. He may offer mindfulness exercises, breathing and grounding practices, cognitive-behavioural ideas and creative tasks like poetry or imagery work to support wellbeing and manage symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to test methods and adjust them to your needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single technique. This collaborative stance means sessions can shift between compassionate listening and more active skill-building as required.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits you. It can also allow people to work with a therapist whose experience and style match their needs without relocating.
