About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon begins from a personal and practical place. He offers a calm, accepting space for people who need someone to listen. Chheayudh is a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings three years of practice to his work.
He meets people where they are and focuses on building trust. Sessions are conversational and down to earth. He may ask questions, reflect what he hears, and help you notice patterns that feel stuck.
Background and approach
Before qualifying as a counsellor, Chheayudh spent 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk. During that time he worked internationally as a facilitator and taught meditation and mindfulness. Those experiences influence how he works and how he helps people slow down, notice their thoughts, and find steadier footing.
Chheayudh draws on several therapy approaches to tailor support to each person. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening, and elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy as helpful tools rather than fixed rules.
He supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and matters related to LGBT identity. He speaks English and Central Khmer and can work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
If you prefer mindful methods, discussion-based work, or a mix of both, Chheayudh aims to work alongside you to find what fits.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It focuses on what matters most to you and on taking small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help people understand relationship patterns that cause pain.Choosing the right approach is often a process. He works collaboratively to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. That might mean trying a mindfulness practice from his meditation background, using CBT techniques for day-to-day coping, or exploring attachment patterns in conversation. The plan can change as you learn what helps.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use less bandwidth by avoiding video or use phone conversation for a quick check-in. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work in an online setting, so practical help can be delivered remotely when appropriate.
