Chheayudh Chhon

Chheayudh Chhon is a counsellor and a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, accepting space for people to talk about what feels hard right now. He aims to build a trusting relationship so clients can say what matters to them without judgement.

He draws on three years of counselling experience alongside many years of prior work as a facilitator and as a Theravada Buddhist monk. That background shaped his approach and gave him experience teaching meditation and mindfulness. He sometimes brings those skills into sessions when it fits the person's needs.

In conversation he listens first and reflects what he hears. He may gently ask questions to help people notice patterns and make choices that feel more manageable. He works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, ADHD and eating and sleeping difficulties.

He uses therapy approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. He adapts these methods to the person in front of him rather than following a fixed formula.

Chheayudh speaks English and Central Khmer and accepts international clients. He practices in the United Kingdom and aims to help people find clarity, self-compassion and practical ways to cope with life changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and acceptance to help people discover their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking. The therapist's biography does not list specific formats, so ask which options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people join from different locations or countries. Some approaches translate well to a remote setting, and the counsellor will adapt exercises such as mindfulness practice or behaviour-focused tasks to suit the way you meet.
