John Chauhan, NCPS

John Chauhan works in a humanistic, empowering way that places the client at the centre of each session and supports people in accessing their inner potential. He draws on his own lived experience with trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety and self-harm to inform a compassionate, empathetic style of support while recognising that every individual’s story is different.

He practices in an integrative manner, blending different techniques so sessions can be tailored to each person’s needs. Some meetings focus on compassionate listening, while others introduce practical suggestions for wellbeing such as hobby development, anxiety-management techniques, mindfulness exercises, cognitive-behavioural strategies, guided imagery, poetry, and self-soothing methods like havening. This flexibility allows him to adapt work for issues including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, family and parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, compassion fatigue and related areas such as guilt, shame and self-harm.

He reports strong experience working with young adults roughly aged 18-40 and notes that he can also support people outside that range. He identifies as a young global majority male counsellor and aims to remain up-to-date with the challenges facing his generation. He holds NCPS, a counselling credential, and welcomes contact by email or phone using the details on this page for an initial conversation or to arrange a free consultation. He is straightforward about limits of practice and will recommend other support when appropriate. He will not offer simplistic advice such as suggesting a bath as a cure.
