About John
John Chauhan offers an approachable, human-centred way of working that puts the person front and centre. He aims to help people draw on their own strengths and inner resources while talking through life’s pressures and setbacks. John writes plainly and meets clients with practical listening and straightforward suggestions.
He brings four years of professional experience and personal lived experience of trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm. That background shapes how he listens and responds, especially with young adults in a similar age range to his own.
Background and approach
He also says he can work with people outside that range when needed. Sessions can shift between quiet, compassionate listening and more active techniques. John offers grounding and anxiety tools, mindfulness exercises, cognitive-style strategies, imagery work, creative approaches such as poetry, and soothing methods like havening.
He adapts his approach to match what each person finds most useful. John’s practice covers stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting stresses, anger, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes.
Additional focus areas include guilt and shame, self-harm, self-love and young adult issues. He uses an integrative, client-centred approach that blends elements to meet individual needs. If a concern falls beyond his scope, he says he will be honest and help find better-suited support.

Approaches John lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How John works online
John also blends practical skills into sessions when helpful, such as anxiety techniques, mindfulness exercises, imagery work and creative activities like poetry. These are used to build coping tools and support everyday wellbeing alongside listening and reflection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which mix of listening and active techniques fits their goals and preferences, and will adjust this as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and options that suit quieter or simpler setups. Because this profile does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know how sessions will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals, including the therapist described here, can guide you on the best format for your needs based on availability and goals.
