Chheayudh Chhon, BACP

Chheayudh Chhon introduces himself as a calm, attentive presence for people who need someone to talk to. He is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member, and he offers a warm, accepting space where people can share difficult thoughts. Chheayudh uses clear listening and gentle questions to help clients find steps forward.

He draws on three years of counselling experience alongside a long personal history as a Theravada Buddhist monk and meditation teacher. That background shaped how he listens and how he teaches breathing and attention skills when they are useful. He combines mindfulness with established talking therapies to create practical ways to cope with day-to-day stress.

Chheayudh aims to help with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and with life changes such as parenting, career shifts and relationship struggles. He also offers support for issues including addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He speaks English and Central Khmer and welcomes people from different countries.

Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

In conversation he keeps language simple and practical. He may reflect back what he hears, ask a few questions, and suggest exercises drawn from therapies such as cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas. The focus is on building trust and finding clear, manageable steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and shift repeating ways of relating.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about different methods and consider your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Sessions may blend elements from ACT, CBT and attachment work so the plan fits you rather than a single technique being imposed.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video works well for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or need less bandwidth, and messaging is useful for people who want ongoing access between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or living abroad while keeping a steady pathway for change.
