About John
John Chauhan places the client at the centre of therapy and speaks plainly about what he offers. He describes a humanistic, empowering style that aims to help people reconnect with their strengths. He draws on lived experience of trauma, depression and anxiety to inform his approach and to relate to people facing similar challenges.
John uses Client-Centred Therapy as a consistent foundation. That means sessions are guided by the person's priorities and paced to what feels manageable.
How John works
Some meetings are warm listening spaces, while others include practical ideas to try between sessions. He also mixes in a range of techniques depending on need. These can include mindfulness exercises, anxiety management strategies, imagery work, journalling or creative tasks such as poetry.
He mentions cognitive-behavioural tools and self-soothing methods as options when useful. John says he connects well with young adults and people navigating contemporary pressures, though he is open to working with others. He aims to be straightforward about when a concern is outside his scope and will suggest other support if needed.
Sessions can be shaped around stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, parenting strains, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career decisions and coping with life changes. He also notes additional focus on guilt and shame, self-harm, self-love and issues common to young adults.

Online support options
Client-Centred care and online session options
Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach John uses. It focuses on listening carefully and following the person's lead so therapy stays relevant to the issues they bring. This style suits people who want a supportive, non-directive space to make sense of their feelings.John also blends in practical techniques when they help. These can include mindfulness exercises to reduce worry, simple cognitive tools for shifting unhelpful thinking, and creative tasks like journalling or imagery work to access emotions. These methods can assist with anxiety, low mood, stress and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John aims to be collaborative and will discuss what feels most useful for each person. He will try different tools and adjust the rhythm of sessions to match goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals and include video calls, telephone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter exchanges and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
