Chheayudh Chhon, BACP

Chheayudh Chhon introduces himself as a calm, attentive therapist who listens without judgement. He is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a warm and accepting space for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn.

He draws on three years of practice alongside many years working internationally as a facilitator and as a Theravada Buddhist monk. That background shaped his way of listening and his use of mindfulness and meditation skills when they fit the person’s needs. Chheayudh aims to make sessions straightforward and grounded rather than theoretical.

In a session he often asks gentle questions and reflects back what he hears to help people notice patterns. He can use ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused thinking or dialectical skills depending on what helps. The emphasis is on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Chheayudh works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also supports people with issues such as body image, parenting stress, chronic illness, ADHD and career questions. Sessions are delivered in English and Central Khmer to suit different language needs.

He accepts international clients and practices from the United Kingdom. To begin, readers are encouraged to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a session to see if his style feels like a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting trapped by them and identify what matters most in their lives. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental listening space where the person's own goals guide the work; it supports self-understanding and confidence. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, trust and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chheayudh will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods collaboratively. He aims to match techniques to what feels most helpful, whether that means practising mindful exercises, learning coping skills, or using reflective conversation.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also let people join sessions across borders while working around time differences, and offers flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving or travel.
