Chheayudh Chhon

Chheayudh Chhon introduces himself as a counsellor who listens first and responds with care. He invites people to talk about whatever has brought them here, from a sudden crisis to a slow-building sense of being lost. He presents a warm, accepting presence and focuses on building a trusting relationship so people feel able to speak honestly.

Chheayudh is a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He trained as a counsellor after many years working internationally as a facilitator and as a meditation and mindfulness teacher during 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk. That background shapes how he notices what matters to each person in the room.

In sessions he mostly listens, reflects, and asks questions that help clarify what is happening. He draws on a range of therapy approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. He can also bring meditation and mindfulness skills into the work when it feels helpful.

People come to him for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, and issues around self-esteem and identity. He also mentions work with addictions, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Chheayudh offers counselling in English and Central Khmer and accepts international clients. To start, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions according to availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Chheayudh draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centred Therapy in ways that suit online counselling. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, anger, or life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and a non-judgemental stance so people feel understood and supported while they talk through difficult topics.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of combining methods that match their needs. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel helpful and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, study and family life because it removes travel time and can be scheduled at more convenient moments. It can also make some check-ins shorter when a quick update is useful, or allow a calmer conversation if someone prefers not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with mindfulness backgrounds, commonly use online work to keep therapy flexible and accessible.
