About Chheayudh

Chheayudh Chhon is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. He also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addiction-related problems and LGBT matters. Sessions are offered in English and Central Khmer and he accepts international clients.

Chheayudh draws on several recognised approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based work. He uses straightforward conversation, gentle questioning and reflection to help people make sense of what they are feeling. He may also bring in mindfulness and meditation skills from his previous experience as a Theravada Buddhist monk when it seems helpful.

In practice he focuses on building a trusting working relationship so people can speak openly about hard things. He aims to help people clarify next steps and practical ways to cope, rather than offering quick fixes. Topics he commonly supports include career uncertainty, low self-esteem, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, parenting stresses and coping after trauma.

People who prefer calm, reflective sessions and practical tools tend to find his style accessible. He works with those navigating the pressures of early adulthood as well as a broader range of adult concerns. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they know what to expect.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counsellor uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and uncertainty about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships affect current connections and helps with intimacy, trust and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is something the counsellor does together with each client. He will ask about what matters to you, what has helped or not helped before, and what you hope to change. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment work or a mix is the best fit for your needs and goals.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. That said, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or other commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video sessions helpful for face-to-face conversation while others prefer audio for a quieter setup or lower bandwidth. Discussing practical arrangements early helps sessions fit into everyday life without guessing about format.
