Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon , HCPC

Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon brings a lived understanding of neurodiversity and resilience to his clinical work after being diagnosed with ADHD and a learning disorder at age eight. The support he received during that time helped him move through suicidal thoughts and intense anxiety, and he now channels that experience into offering steady, compassionate support for others.

Known to many by his nickname Palm, he is a counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC - the Health and Care Professions Council - and is also a BACP-registered psychotherapist in the United Kingdom. He completed a doctorate in Counselling Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University and holds a master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Stirling. He further trained in mindfulness-based approaches, earning a certificate in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for Life from the Oxford Mindfulness Centre.

His multicultural heritage, rooted in Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian, and Chinese backgrounds, and his bilingual ability in English and Thai inform a culturally sensitive practice shaped by more than 4,000 counselling sessions. He has worked with people across life stages and professions, supporting those facing PTSD, OCD, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, depression, burnout, and high anxiety, among other concerns.

Clinically, he blends evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centred approaches, Internal Family Systems techniques, and mindfulness practices to create tailored treatment plans. He frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering honest reflection, practical tools, and gentle challenges aimed at increasing clarity, purpose, and inner resources. In addition to direct practice, he mentors fellows through the Dalai Lama Fellows programme and contributes to global mental health initiatives as a member of a Global Inclusive Council, work that strengthens his culturally informed approach to care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Dr. Pannavat frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, helping people explore their own values and strengths as the basis for change.

He approaches treatment collaboratively, recognising that finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Together with each client he assesses priorities, life circumstances, and personal preferences to tailor an integrated plan that may combine approaches over time. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more engaged and confident about the direction of therapy.

Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, travel, or busy work routines, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to adapt pacing and format to what works best for each person.
