About Abhishek
Abhishek Chavan is an AASW clinician practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. He works directly with adults who are feeling stuck, anxious, low in motivation, or unsure about next steps in work and life. His focus includes stress, anxiety, sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and career concerns, and he also addresses life purpose alongside mood concerns.
In sessions he aims to make it straightforward to talk about what is worrying you. Conversations centre on what is happening now, how it affects day-to-day life, and small practical changes to try between meetings. He encourages clear, honest discussion of thoughts and feelings so problems can be approached step by step.
His background draws on approaches that pay attention to how relationships shape feeling and behaviour. He uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early and current connections influence patterns such as avoidance, over-control or clinging. He also applies client-centred principles that keep the person’s experience in focus.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are offered to help spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of behaving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when the work turns to deep emotions tied to relationships or loss.
Sessions are conducted in the languages listed on his profile, and he works with people who want practical, readable steps as well as deeper emotional work. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Abhishek uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and behaviour. This approach helps when patterns of avoidance, fear of abandonment or repeated conflict affect daily life. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises the person's perspective and encourages straightforward discussion about feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is offered to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behaviour experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abhishek discusses options with each client and together they decide which methods to try based on current problems, goals and preferences. He frames this as a collaborative process where methods are adjusted over time as needs change.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also allow someone to speak without being on camera if that helps, or use lower bandwidth when internet connections are variable. Discuss format options during the initial matching and scheduling steps so sessions fit into everyday life.
