About Pannavat
Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon is a counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC. He often goes by the nickname Palm and brings a calm, practical manner to sessions.
He speaks English and Thai and draws on his own multicultural background when connecting with people. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and phobias, as well as relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, addiction, grief, parenting strain and sleep or eating difficulties.
Background and approach
His work covers a wide range of life challenges including career doubts, coping with change and burnout. Palm uses a blend of evidence-informed ways of working. He mixes cognitive behavioural techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based thinking to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, with tools you can use between appointments. He has five years of practice experience and has carried out several thousand counselling sessions across many countries. That background feeds into a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s culture, values and daily demands.
He listens for what matters most to you and then co-designs a plan. People who choose him can expect clear conversations about goals, gentle challenge when helpful, and straightforward coping strategies. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, phobias and life transitions because it focuses on what matters and on small steps forward.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection and closeness issues, and can be useful when intimacy or attachment worries affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests which methods to try and when to adapt them. That collaborative planning can change as you progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging lets you check in between calls and can suit quick reflections or brief coaching moments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules.
