About Pannavat

Counsellor and HCPC registrant Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon (Palm) has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma-related concerns, as well as depression, ADHD, addictions, grief and parenting difficulties.

He draws on a multicultural background and bilingual fluency in English and Thai. That experience informs how he listens to family dynamics and cultural difference. He has worked with people in many countries and with a wide range of life circumstances and clinical issues.

In sessions he uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method. He describes using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred methods and attachment-based ideas alongside mindfulness. He aims to help people name difficult patterns, try practical strategies and notice what changes.

He says he will ask clear questions, reflect what he hears and offer tools that can be practised between sessions. That may include simple mindfulness exercises, cognitive techniques or ways to strengthen close relationships.

He completed a doctorate in counselling psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University and a master’s degree in psychology at the University of Stirling. He also holds a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy certificate from the Oxford Mindfulness Centre.

Outside clinical work he has worked with international mental health programmes and mentors fellows on mindful leadership. He welcomes people who want to talk through life changes, coping skills and interpersonal struggles.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps towards them while learning ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when worry, low mood or avoidance get in the way of everyday life.

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape trust and intimacy. It can be useful for people concerned about relationship patterns, abandonment or feeling disconnected from others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and try different tools to see what fits. That process is collaborative and may involve practical exercises, reflection and short tasks to try between meetings.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit counselling into family life or work routines, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises and short practices to suit how people prefer to meet and to the day-to-day demands they face.
