Chheayudh Chhon , BACP

Chheayudh Chhon offers a calm, accepting presence for people navigating difficult moments, life transitions, or unresolved issues from the past. He creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and explore their thoughts and feelings, with the aim of finding greater clarity, self-compassion, and practical ways to move forward.

He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and brings three years of clinical experience to his practice. Before qualifying as a therapist he 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 shaped his approach to working with people from diverse cultures and life stories and informs the mindful, grounded way he engages in sessions.

Chhon draws on a range of therapeutic theories to tailor support to each person, and he may gently reflect or ask questions to help deepen understanding. He integrates mindfulness and meditation skills where appropriate and works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, LGBT matters, parenting, ADHD, and other life challenges. He aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports clearer thinking, increased self-awareness, and practical coping strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Chheayudh Chhon integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - this approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns that develop from early experiences, helping people improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation in relationships. In addition, his client-centered orientation prioritizes the person’s perspective by offering empathic listening and unconditional acceptance, creating a foundation for insight and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Chhon works collaboratively to determine which methods fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors sessions over time, inviting feedback and adapting techniques so therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Chhon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent support from home or while traveling, to continue mindfulness practices in-session, and to choose the format that best supports engagement and progress.
