About John
John Chauhan is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years' experience. He focuses on common struggles faced by young adults such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, and issues around self-esteem and identity. He also works with people experiencing trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
John draws on his own lived experience with trauma, depression, anxiety and self-harm to inform his work. That background helps him relate to people describing similar difficulties. He describes his practice as client-centred and flexible, putting the person at the heart of each session.
Sessions can be conversational and listening-led, or more skills-focused depending on what someone needs. He uses practical techniques such as anxiety-management tools, mindfulness practices, paced breathing, cognitive-style exercises, imagery work, poetry and self-soothing methods. Sometimes sessions centre on exploring feelings, and sometimes on building new routines and hobbies to support wellbeing.
John says he commonly adapts his approach to suit each person. He aims to be clear when an issue is beyond his expertise and will suggest other resources where appropriate. He works mainly with young adults and people in a similar age range, though he does not limit himself strictly by age.
To start, John asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial meeting. He notes that session arrangements and costs vary by location and are run through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How John’s approach transfers to online sessions
John relies on a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person’s priorities. This approach involves listening carefully, reflecting what is said and checking in about goals and preferences. It is useful for issues like anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and questions about identity that many young adults face.He also uses practical techniques alongside talking. That can include anxiety-management strategies, mindfulness exercises, breathing work, imagery exercises and guided self-soothing practices. These methods aim to give people tools they can use between sessions to manage emotions and build routines.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. John will discuss different options and help decide which approaches suit a person’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as priorities shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on difficult days and let people practise techniques in their everyday environment. Registered or accredited professionals often find that combining talking and practical exercises works well in remote sessions.
