Chheayudh Chhon, BACP

Chheayudh Chhon is a counsellor and a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He welcomes people who are feeling stuck, facing big life changes, or needing someone calm to talk to. He creates a warm, non-judgemental space so people can say what they really mean and begin to find clarity.

He draws on three years of professional practice alongside many years of earlier experience as a Theravada Buddhist monk. That background included facilitating groups and teaching meditation and mindfulness, skills he may bring into sessions when helpful. This life experience informs his steady, grounded manner and his interest in supporting people from many different backgrounds.

In sessions he listens closely and sometimes asks questions or reflects back what he hears. He uses ideas from several therapeutic approaches, including acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioural ideas, and emotion-focused strategies, to tailor support to each person. The focus is on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through feelings in the room.

Chheayudh helps with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and caregiver strain. He also supports people dealing with ageing and geriatric issues and long-term health challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and Central Khmer. He is based in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current feelings and behaviours, which can aid relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit those aims. That might mean combining mindfulness practices with cognitive or attachment-based ideas, and adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions around work and family commitments and the option to meet from different locations. If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to maintain regular contact, deliver brief check-ins, guide mindfulness exercises, and set homework tasks that slot into everyday life.
