About Abhishek
Abhishek Chavan is an AASW social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress and sleep problems. He supports people struggling with low self-esteem, motivation and career worries. He aims to make the first step feel less daunting and to offer steady support along the way.
Abhishek keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He offers a calm space for people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations focus on practical steps you can try between sessions as well as understanding what drives worry or low mood.
He draws on approaches that look at relationships and patterns, alongside practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. That combination is often useful for panic, ongoing anxiety, and mood concerns. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the person attending.
With three years of professional experience in Australia, Abhishek handles a broad range of everyday and longer-term life challenges. He pays attention to things like attachment, self-worth, communication and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. The work can include exploring old patterns and trying new ways to respond.
People can expect to set clear goals and check progress over time. Abhishek aims to empower people to make choices that suit their life and values. He communicates in English, Hindi and Marathi to support those language preferences.
How his approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help when panic or anxiety feels linked to fears of abandonment or rejection. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own perspective and choices, offering respectful listening and support while the person decides what change should look like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives specific skills for reducing panic, worry and sleep disruption.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked in the past. That conversation helps shape a plan that blends relationship-focused understanding with practical tools tailored to the person's needs.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and daily life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage better.
