About Abhishek
Abhishek Chavan is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and depression. He also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and mood concerns.
Abhishek explains things in plain language and keeps conversations direct. He helps people name difficult feelings and notice patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions are practical and about small steps that fit into everyday life.
His way of working draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural strategies. That mix is used to look at feelings, relationships and the thoughts that feed them. Clients can expect a balance of listening, reflection and simple exercises to try between sessions.
He aims to make it easier to talk about shame, guilt or isolation. Abhishek also helps people facing practical strains such as money worries, career decisions and caregiving burdens. He offers support for those coping with chronic pain or long-term illness.
Sessions are conducted in English, Hindi and Marathi. For people who want to begin, the usual next step is a short matching questionnaire and an initial meeting to talk about goals and the kind of work that might help.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and how those feelings shape their actions. It can be useful for addressing persistent patterns that leave someone feeling stuck or disconnected. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and responses to stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflection so the client can find their own answers; it supports building self-understanding and confidence.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which approaches to emphasise. The therapist’s aim is to match techniques to what the client wants to change and how they like to work.
