About Abhishek
Abhishek Chavan is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, low self-esteem, career difficulties and depression. He also lists additional focus areas that include guilt and shame, attachment concerns and relationship-related issues.
Abhishek uses straightforward conversation to help people name the feelings that trouble them. He encourages open discussion of thoughts and memories that feel heavy or hard to bring up. Sessions aim to make difficult emotions clearer so practical steps can be talked through.
His approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That combination is used to look at patterns in relationships, the stories people tell themselves, and how feelings influence behaviour. Work may include noticing thought patterns, trying new ways of responding, and looking at how early connections shaped current reactions.
People working with him can expect a calm pace and a focus on small, manageable changes. Abhishek also helps with day-to-day problems like sleep disruption and job stress alongside deeper emotional material. He speaks English, Hindi and Marathi, and works with adults in Australia.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Abhishek commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help when guilt or shame links back to past relationships. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small practical experiments, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep issues and low self-esteem.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will try ways of working that suit the issue and the individual. The choice of methods can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats, so people are asked to check current options when they sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family commitments are easier to manage.
