John Chauhan , NCPS

John Chauhan practices in a humanistic, empowering way that places the individual at the centre of each session. He aims to help people access their inner potential through a client-led, compassionate approach and adapts his work to each person's needs.

He brings lived experience of trauma, complex post-traumatic stress (C-PTSD), depression, anxiety, self-harm and other forms of adversity, which informs his empathic understanding of those issues. John works in an integrative fashion - blending a range of techniques so sessions can be tailored to what is most helpful for the person in front of him. He also holds the NCPS credential, which reflects formal training and professional commitment in counselling practice.

Some sessions focus on compassionate listening while others offer practical tools for wellbeing, including mindfulness exercises, cognitive-behavioural techniques, imagery work, creative elements such as poetry, and self-soothing methods. He has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, family and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting and anger, as well as self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes. He is particularly experienced in working with young adults, roughly aged 18 to 40, while remaining open to working with people outside that age range.

John's style emphasizes empathy, collaboration and realistic, grounded strategies rather than simplistic solutions.
