Chheayudh Chhon, BACP

Chheayudh Chhon offers a compassionate, listening presence for people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. He creates a warm and accepting space where clients can speak openly about current struggles, make sense of the past, or explore feelings of being lost, and he adapts his approach to the needs of each person.

He is a qualified therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. With three years of clinical experience, he blends professional training with a long personal history of guiding others through change and inner work.

Before qualifying as a therapist he spent 17 years working internationally as a Theravada Buddhist monk, serving as a facilitator and a teacher of meditation and mindfulness. That background informs his practice and supports his ability to connect with people from diverse cultures and life stories. In sessions he may gently reflect what he hears, ask questions to deepen understanding, and draw on different therapeutic theories to provide tailored support. When appropriate he can bring meditation and mindfulness skills into the therapeutic process.

His core aim is to build a trusting, honest relationship that helps clients explore difficult thoughts and feelings and move toward greater clarity. Through this work clients may discover calmness, peace, meaning, fulfillment, self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-awareness, confidence, and renewed self-trust.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where people feel stuck and want a values-driven way forward.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that began in early life and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship challenges, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related distress.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center of the work, using empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard to encourage self-exploration and personal growth. It is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating major life changes.

The therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which approaches, or combination of approaches, best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy in this practice is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from wherever the client is located and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or travel.
