Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon, HCPC

Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon introduces himself as a counsellor who combines practical therapy methods with an emphasis on cultural understanding. He goes by the nickname Palm and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. He offers sessions in English and Thai and has practised in the United Kingdom for five years.

Palm draws on several evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and clarify values so daily life feels more manageable. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change.

His background includes doctoral training in counselling psychology and a master’s degree in psychology from UK universities. He has also completed a certificate in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life from the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. This clinical training supports a blend of cognitive, acceptance and attachment-informed work.

Palm has delivered thousands of counselling sessions and worked with people from many cultural backgrounds. That experience informs his attention to family dynamics, identity, and life transitions. He aims to adapt his style to each person’s cultural perspective and personal needs.

When working together he offers practical exercises, gentle challenges, guided reflection and mindfulness practices. He encourages collaboration about goals and will adjust methods as those goals evolve. Many people come for help with relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, parenting strain and workplace stress.

Sessions are offered remotely by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People who choose to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions using the Start Therapy button.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what truly matters to them and take actions aligned with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, concentrates on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviours through practical exercises and skill-building. It can help with worry, low mood, sleeping problems and coping with day-to-day stressors.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in connections and emotion. It is useful for intimacy-related issues, grief, family dynamics and building more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and difficulties and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, practise exercises between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and travel commitments.
