About Chheayudh

Chheayudh Chhon is a counsellor and Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He creates a warm, accepting space for people who need someone to talk to. He listens without judgement and helps clients explore whatever is troubling them right now.

He understands how talking can bring clarity because he experienced therapy himself. He focuses on building trust and honesty so people feel able to share difficult thoughts. Sessions aim to help people notice small changes like increased calm, self-compassion, or clearer direction.

Before qualifying as a counsellor, he spent 17 years practising as a Theravada Buddhist monk and worked internationally as a facilitator and meditation and mindfulness teacher. That background shaped his approach and his ability to connect with people from many walks of life.

In sessions he may ask questions and reflect back what he hears. He draws on several therapeutic models to tailor the work to each person. He can bring meditation and mindfulness skills into sessions when that seems helpful.

He works in English and Central Khmer and is based in the United Kingdom. With three years of professional counselling experience, he supports people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief, relationship and intimacy-related worries, and many other concerns listed in his practice profile.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like low mood, worry or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will listen to what matters most and suggest ways to combine techniques such as mindfulness, ACT or CBT to suit the individual.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical needs with the therapist and they will outline how to make therapy work alongside everyday commitments.
