About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon is a BACP member and a counsellor who draws on years of lived and professional experience to support people through difficult times. He creates a calm, accepting space and listens without judgement so clients can talk about what matters most to them.
He often helps people who feel stuck after a life change, who are making sense of the past, or who are coping with grief, anxiety, depression or trauma.
Background and approach
He also works with stress, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of other struggles. Before qualifying as a counsellor Chheayudh spent 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk, teaching meditation and mindfulness. That background shapes how he notices patterns, stays present in sessions, and offers practical breathing and attention skills when they are useful.
In sessions he listens, asks gentle questions, and reflects back what he hears. He blends approaches such as existential thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive strategies to suit each person’s needs. Chheayudh offers sessions in English and Central Khmer and is based in the United Kingdom.
He has three years of professional counselling experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). People can expect a collaborative pace and a focus on practical steps alongside deeper reflection. He aims to help clients notice what matters to them, build small changes, and find clearer direction over time.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Existential work helps people look at meaning, choice and values in their lives. This approach encourages honest reflection about what matters and can help with life changes, loss and questions about direction.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief and problems that feel stuck in patterns.
Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling safe with others. This can be helpful for relationship, intimacy and trust issues.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods along the way so sessions feel practical and relevant to the person in front of him.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging works well for shorter, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity between sessions.
