Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon, HCPC

Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon introduces himself simply as Palm and brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. He aims to help people tap into inner resources, find clearer purpose, and live with more meaning. He shares a personal history of living with ADHD and a learning disorder, which shaped his commitment to supporting others through hard times.

He trained in counselling psychology, completing a doctorate at Glasgow Caledonian University and a master’s at the University of Stirling. He also completed a certificate in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for Life at the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. He is registered with the HCPC.

Palm draws on cognitive and mindful methods alongside client-centred and attachment-aware ways of working. Sessions include practical tools, reflective questions, and short exercises to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. He aims to strike a balance between gentle curiosity and constructive challenge.

His cultural background spans Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian and Chinese influences, and he has delivered thousands of counselling sessions across many countries. That experience informs his sensitivity to how culture, family and identity shape problems such as grief, parenting strain, addiction and midlife questions.

He works with adults across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, eating and sleep difficulties, relationship strain, career uncertainty and caregiver stress. He offers therapy in English and Thai and is used to working with people from different parts of the world.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking, choose what matters to them, and take small steps towards those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, coping with life changes and midlife uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, then practising different responses; it often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people improve emotional connection and self-understanding, which can aid intimacy issues and relational distress.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then suggest one or a blend of methods. Clients are invited to try approaches and give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example, shorter check-ins between commitments, evening sessions after work, or less travel time. It can also allow a flexible pace for mindful exercises and homework between meetings. Registered professionals will adapt materials and practices so they work well when meeting remotely, and the therapist will discuss what suits each person during the initial matching steps.
