Chheayudh Chhon

He listens first and helps clients make sense of what they’re experiencing in straightforward ways. Many people contact him during hard life moments - grief, anxiety, depression, stress or big changes.

He also supports those facing trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD and work burnout. He speaks English and Central Khmer and can work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Chheayudh blends practical talking therapy with skills from mindfulness and meditation. Before training as a counsellor he spent 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk, teaching meditation and leading groups.

That background influences his calm, patient style and his focus on building trust. In sessions he asks questions and reflects what he hears to help clients notice patterns and try new responses.

His approach draws on familiar methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work. He may offer simple mindfulness practices when they fit the client’s goals.

He prefers a gentle, collaborative way of working. The aim is to help people notice what matters, build practical steps forward and increase self-compassion.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.
