About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon is a therapist who offers a calm, accepting presence for people facing hard moments. He welcomes conversations about confusing feelings, big life changes, or painful memories. He is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Chheayudh focuses on building a trusting, honest relationship. He listens without judgment and helps people make sense of what they are going through. Sessions are straightforward and paced to the person’s needs.
How Chheayudh works
Before training as a therapist he spent 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk. During that time he taught meditation and mindfulness and worked internationally as a facilitator. Those experiences shaped how he notices patterns in thinking and how he uses calm, focused practices in sessions.
In practice he draws on a range of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. He may introduce gentle mindfulness exercises when they suit the person’s goals. People come for help with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and life transitions.
He also supports worries about relationships, identity, addiction, eating and sleeping, parenting strains, work stress, ADHD and more. Sessions aim to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward. Chheayudh works with English and Central Khmer speakers and sees people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He combines conversational listening with practical tools so clients can try different ways of dealing with their concerns.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and building small, practical steps to live more in line with those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect how someone connects today, helping people find safer ways to relate and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to try. Together you will review what helps and make adjustments so the work fits your needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, travel and other commitments, and allow practising the approaches in everyday life.
