About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon is a BACP-registered counsellor who offers a calm, attentive presence for people wanting to talk things through. He opens sessions with listening and gentle reflection, aiming to help clients make sense of what feels overwhelming right now. He often draws on mindfulness and body-aware practices from his prior work as a Theravada Buddhist monk.
Chheayudh keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He invites people to name worries, describe patterns, and try small experiments between meetings.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of short-term skills and longer conversations so clients can find what helps them most. His background includes many years facilitating groups and teaching meditation. That experience shaped a relaxed, patient style and an ability to work with people from different cultures and walks of life.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In practice he blends somatic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive techniques. This allows him to address issues such as anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship or intimacy concerns, and stress linked to life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and Central Khmer. Chheayudh also works with people internationally and via online formats. He aims to build trust first, then tailor sessions to each person’s pace and goals.
People often come wanting clearer thinking, steadier mood, or better ways to manage overwhelming feelings. Chheayudh focuses on helping clients find simple, doable steps toward greater calm, self-awareness and confidence.
How approaches and online sessions work together
Chheayudh often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values and take actions that matter to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting focus from trying to control thoughts to living with purpose.He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building different, healthier ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with clients about what feels most useful and adapt methods based on each person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, bridge distances, and keep contact between sessions when people need brief support. Many find that mixing live conversations with shorter online check-ins helps maintain momentum and practice new skills in daily life.
