John Chauhan

John Chauhan works with clients in a humanistic, empowering way, placing each person at the centre of the work and supporting them to access their own inner potential. He brings a collaborative, client-led style that aims to build agency and resilience.

He has lived experience of trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, self-harm and other forms of adversity. That personal experience informs his practice and can be particularly useful when talking with people facing similar challenges.

John practises in an integrative fashion, combining multiple therapeutic approaches into one flexible way of working so sessions can be adapted to what is most helpful for the individual.

As a young male counsellor from a global majority background, he considers himself attuned to many of the issues affecting younger adults. He commonly works with people roughly aged 18-40, while remaining open to seeing clients who are older.

Session styles vary between compassionate listening and practical skills work. John offers suggestions for wellbeing, hobby development, anxiety techniques, mindfulness exercises, cognitive-behavioural methods, deep imagery work, poetry, self-soothing (havening) and more, adjusting the approach to suit each person’s needs. He has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and coping with grief and loss, among other concerns. He is based in the United Kingdom and has 4 years of clinical experience.

Prospective clients are invited to email or call using the contact details on this page to arrange a free initial consultation. If an issue falls outside his current skillset, he will be open about that so the client can access the most appropriate support available.

P.S. He will not tell you to “just go and have a bath” - he recognises that simple phrases are not a substitute for real therapeutic work.
