John Chauhan , NCPS

John Chauhan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works from a humanistic, client-centered stance that places the person at the heart of therapy and supports clients to access their own strengths and inner potential.

He draws on lived experience with trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, and self-harm, which informs a compassionate and relatable approach to care. John practices in an integrative way, blending compassionate listening with practical techniques so sessions can be tailored to individual needs. Techniques he uses include mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioural strategies, anxiety management tools, deep imagery exercises, self-soothing approaches such as havening, creative methods like poetry, and support for hobby and wellbeing development.

John has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, family and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, guilt and shame, self-harm, self-love, and young adult issues. He often works well with young adults roughly aged 18-40 and brings a generational perspective to sessions, while remaining open to clients outside that range.

He holds the NCPS credential, which indicates formal training in counselling. John is not currently accepting clients.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapeutic Support

John practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and focus of each session. This approach helps people explore their values, build self-awareness, and draw on their own strengths when facing stress, relationship struggles, grief, or identity questions.

He also integrates cognitive-behavioural techniques when helpful - these are practical, skill-based methods that address unhelpful thinking and teach coping strategies for anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness-based and self-soothing practices are used to support emotional regulation, reduce rumination, and build resilience in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. John works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to match each person’s unique situation.

Online therapy with John is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to engage in regular sessions around work, study, or family commitments and to maintain continuity of care from home or other convenient locations.
