About Abhishek
Abhishek Chavan helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about what comes next. He works with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and depression. He aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through.
Abhishek is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience. He focuses on ordinary, everyday changes that add up - small shifts in thought and routine that reduce worry and boost confidence. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than clinical-sounding, so people can bring whatever feels most pressing that week.
He uses a mix of attachment-based ideas and client-centred dialogue to help people understand patterns in relationships and emotion. Cognitive behavioural strategies are included to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours to test new outcomes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when emotions and bonds are central to the problem.
In sessions Abhishek listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. He works at a pace the client chooses and checks in about what is working. The aim is to build tools people can use between sessions to manage stress, improve sleep, and move towards clearer career choices.
Abhishek can talk in English, Hindi and Marathi. He practises in Australia and asks people to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. It helps when relationship fears, abandonment or attachment issues make everyday life harder. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and values; the therapist follows the client's lead and provides empathetic listening to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and tests small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve routines like sleep.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, and together they will decide which style or combination to try. This collaborative process can be revisited if something isn’t helping.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family commitments, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and the ability to continue regular contact without travel. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, as options may vary. Appropriately qualified therapists can still use these approaches effectively online, helping clients practise new skills between sessions and track progress over time.
