John Chauhan, NCPS

John Chauhan introduces himself as a counsellor who centres the person in the room. He aims to help people tap into their inner resources. He writes plainly and meets clients where they are without judgement.

He draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on listening, acceptance and the client's direction. He also blends other techniques when they suit the person's needs, such as mindfulness, anxiety-management tools and guided imagery. Sessions can emphasise compassionate listening or practical skills, depending on what the client wants.

Chauhan has lived experience of trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm, and he says that perspective informs his counselling. He notes particular familiarity with issues common to younger adults and people whose backgrounds match his own, and he mentions work with concerns like grief, relationship strain, addictions and stress.

Practical tools he uses may include hobby development, breathing and grounding exercises, cognitive-style techniques, poetry and self-soothing methods such as havening. He describes an adaptable approach that changes to meet each person's needs rather than sticking to one method.

He holds an NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in his details, and has four years of experience. To begin, people follow the service's Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Chauhan says he will be honest if an issue is beyond his skillset so the person can find the best support.

How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the person says, asks open questions and encourages the client to set the pace and goals. This approach suits issues like low mood, grief, relationship strain and feelings of shame where being heard matters.

Chauhan also blends techniques alongside a person-centred frame. He may offer mindfulness prompts and simple anxiety-management tools to test between sessions. He can introduce guided imagery, breathing exercises, havening-style self-soothing and practical ideas for building wellbeing when these feel helpful.

Finding the right way to work is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss what helps most and adjust the approach as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process that considers the client's goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Session formats are not listed in his biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions useful for regular continuity and for practising techniques between meetings.
