Chheayudh Chhon, BACP

Chheayudh Chhon draws on many years of lived and professional experience to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for people facing difficult times. He welcomes those coping with loss, life transitions, past trauma, or simply a sense of being stuck, and aims to create a trusting relationship in which clients can speak openly and begin to make sense of what they are experiencing. As a qualified therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - he combines professional training with a grounded, human approach.

Before qualifying as a therapist Chheayudh worked internationally for many years as a facilitator and as a meditation and mindfulness teacher during 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk. That background has shaped his way of working and his ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. In sessions he may ask curious questions, reflect back what he has heard, and draw on a range of therapeutic ideas to tailor support to each person. When appropriate he can bring meditation and mindfulness practices into the work to support relaxation, awareness, and coping.

Clients can expect an empathic, accepting environment where the focus is on building an honest, collaborative relationship and exploring practical ways forward, including developing greater self-compassion, clarity, and resilience.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and to take values-based action toward a more meaningful life. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and situations where people want clearer direction or more resilience in the face of difficult emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and explores how those patterns affect current connections. This approach can be useful for people working through relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, or longstanding patterns that affect intimacy and trust.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can find their own solutions and build self-understanding. It supports a wide range of concerns by prioritizing the client’s experience and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chheayudh will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist can adapt techniques over time to ensure the work feels helpful and relevant.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access therapy from different locations and at times that suit a busy life. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographical distance and allow registered professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support in ways that fit each client’s routine.
