About Chheayudh

Chheayudh Chhon is a counsellor and a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and a wide range of life changes. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting matters, addiction, trauma and other areas listed in his profile. Chheayudh offers sessions in English and Central Khmer and accepts international clients.

He draws on a mix of approaches to fit what each person needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with practical thinking and behaviour changes. Attachment-based and client-centred methods shape how he understands connections and the present moment in sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques may be used for emotion regulation when they are helpful.

Before qualifying, Chheayudh spent 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk, and also worked internationally as a facilitator and mindfulness teacher. That background informs his use of meditation and mindfulness in sessions when appropriate. He describes a therapy style that listens, asks questions and reflects what he hears to help people find clarity.

People seeking help with parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, or coping after loss will find practical discussion and tools alongside reflective work. He aims to build a trusting counselling relationship where difficult thoughts can be spoken about without judgement. Sessions focus on clear steps and understanding rather than abstract promises.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Chheayudh combines practical therapy methods with mindfulness skills drawn from his years as a meditation teacher. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps, often helping with stress, sleep and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and how early connections affect present-day interactions, which can help with intimacy and communication concerns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He aims to do this together with each person, matching methods to their needs, goals and preferences rather than applying a single model. That collaborative choice is reviewed as the work progresses to make sure it remains helpful.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around a workday, or remove the need to be on camera during a first meeting. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often use these practical benefits to help people maintain steady contact and work through ongoing concerns.
