Chheayudh Chhon , BACP

Chheayudh Chhon offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and a wide range of life challenges. He brings three years of professional clinical experience as a qualified therapist and counsellor and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Drawing on a diverse background that includes 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk, international work as a facilitator, and experience as a meditation and mindfulness teacher, he combines practical mindfulness skills with evidence-based therapeutic approaches. He aims to build a trusting, honest relationship where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and work toward greater clarity, self-compassion, and emotional balance.

In sessions he may gently ask questions and reflect what he hears, tailoring support by drawing on multiple therapeutic theories to meet each person’s needs. He can integrate meditation and mindfulness practices when appropriate and works with individuals from diverse backgrounds. He provides therapy in English and Central Khmer and is based in the United Kingdom while accepting international clients for online work.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Chheayudh draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy, along with client-centered principles, to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. ACT focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect present-day connections and emotional responses - it can help with relationship issues, intimacy-related concerns, and trauma-related attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s own experience, offering empathic listening and support to foster self-understanding and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chheayudh works collaboratively with clients to explore what feels most helpful, adjusting methods to match goals, preferences, and the pace each person needs. He integrates mindfulness skills when appropriate and adapts techniques from different models to create a personalised plan.

Online therapy with Chheayudh is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographical distance, and allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively online, and the variety of formats lets clients choose how they prefer to engage in the therapeutic process.
