About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon is a counsellor who aims to make talking about hard things feel easier. He offers a calm, accepting space to say what is on your mind and to work through whatever has brought you here. He is a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and uses that foundation to guide his practical approach.
He listens first, then helps people untangle patterns and stories that keep causing pain.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Chheayudh may ask questions or reflect back what he hears to help a person notice new choices. His background includes many years as a Theravada Buddhist monk, where he taught meditation and mindfulness.
That experience informs how he brings calm, attention and self-compassion into counselling when it seems helpful. Chheayudh draws on Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural approaches to tailor support to each person. He works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction and issues around identity and relationships.
He offers counselling in English and Central Khmer, and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. With three years of clinical experience, he aims to be down-to-earth and respectful while helping people make small, practical changes that add up over time.

Online session options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Chheayudh uses Narrative therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. That approach can be useful for identity issues, relationship patterns and making sense of past events.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a joint process of trying things, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see visual cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging offer ongoing contact and flexibility for those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel while keeping therapy consistent.
