About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon welcomes people who need someone to listen. He introduces himself simply as Yut and offers a calm, accepting space for whatever is on your mind. He is a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings three years of counselling experience to his practice.
Before qualifying he spent 17 years as a Theravada Buddhist monk. During that time he worked internationally as a facilitator and as a teacher of meditation and mindfulness. That background influences how he works with clients and how he holds conversations in session.
Sessions are grounded in a few evidence-based approaches. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. Client-Centred work guides the pace, with the person in the centre of their own change.
In meetings he listens first, asks clarifying questions, and reflects what he has heard. He may introduce mindfulness practices when they seem useful. The focus tends to be practical - finding ways to cope with stress, anxiety, grief, life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, and adoption and foster care questions among other issues.
He offers sessions in English and Central Khmer and can work with people from different countries. If you think this might help, use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a time to meet.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small steps toward those values. It uses practical exercises and simple mindfulness practices to shift focus from unhelpful thoughts to meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present behaviour and feelings, helping people identify repeated patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, emphasising listening, empathy and meeting the client at their pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then work together to try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative stance means methods evolve with the client's needs rather than being fixed from the start.
For practicalities, please confirm the session formats when booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use practices such as guided mindfulness at home and keep continuity when travel or relocation is a factor. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing to suit remote meetings so progress remains focused and practical.
