About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon is a counsellor and a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, ADHD and anger.
He offers a straightforward conversational approach. Sessions focus on building a trusting, honest working relationship so people can talk through what is troubling them. He sometimes asks direct questions and often reflects back what he hears to help clients notice patterns and options.
Before qualifying, he spent 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk and then worked internationally as a facilitator and mindfulness teacher. That background shapes how he uses meditation and mindfulness skills alongside other therapeutic approaches when they suit the person's needs.
His practice draws on several established methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. He aims to match tools and techniques to a person's situation rather than sticking to a single method.
Sessions are offered in English and Central Khmer, and he accepts international clients. He supports people dealing with life transitions, addictions, body image and eating issues, chronic illness and many other concerns that often sit alongside anger and low self-esteem.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session so they can explore goals and decide the best way forward together.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward a life that reflects their values rather than struggling with every feeling. It is useful for anxiety, anger and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, which can be helpful for stress, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build new ways of relating and managing strong emotions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques or combinations of methods to try. Over early sessions the pair will review what helps and adjust the plan together. Confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or a phone call depending on bandwidth and comfort. Registered or accredited professionals including this counsellor can use these options to help sessions fit everyday life without asking for long travel or time off work.Areas of focus
