John and his Therapist
You see John meeting with her at the beginning of “A Study in Pink” and then at the end of “The Reichenbach Fall.” I thought this was a clever way to bookend to Seasons One and Two.
However, in Season Three you don’t see him there anymore. It makes me wonder why he stopped going? I would assume it is because he is no longer haunted by his time in Afghanistan and that he has moved from Sherlock’s death.

Re: John and his Therapist
He did not stop going altogether. When he talks to Major Sholto in TSoT there is the following dialogue:
SHOLTO: No more need for the trick cyclist?
JOHN: No, I-I go now and then. Sort of a top-up.
(Sholto nods.)
JOHN: Therapy can be very helpful.
