Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon, HCPC

Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon is a counselling psychologist who draws on both personal experience and professional training to support people facing a wide range of life challenges. Diagnosed with ADHD and a learning disorder at age eight, he credits early support for helping him overcome suicidal thoughts and anxiety, and he now aims to offer the same steady support to others. He is often known by his nickname, "Palm," and brings a lived understanding of neurodiversity to his work.

He is registered with the HCPC, the Health and Care Professions Council in the UK, and is also a BACP-registered psychotherapist, reflecting formal recognition within UK professional bodies. 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 also earned a certificate in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life from the Oxford Mindfulness Centre.

With experience that includes over 4,000 counselling sessions and work with clients across continents, Dr. Veeraburinon is comfortable working with diverse backgrounds and family systems. His multicultural heritage - rooted in Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian, and Chinese cultures - and bilingual ability in English and Thai enable him to approach cultural differences with sensitivity and flexibility.

He adopts an integrative approach, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centred methods, Internal Family Systems ideas, and mindfulness practices to tailor treatment to each person. He has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, and many other concerns. Outside clinical practice he mentors fellows, leads trainings, and contributes to international mental health initiatives, bringing a global perspective to his work.

Dr. Veeraburinon aims to help clients discover inner resources, clarify values and goals, and pursue more meaningful, purpose-driven lives through a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action in line with those values. It combines acceptance strategies with practical commitment to behavioral changes and is often helpful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress related to life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. By exploring attachment styles and emotional needs, this work can support people dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, and issues rooted in early caregiving experiences.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and registered professionals like Dr. Pannavat work collaboratively with clients to identify methods that fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are flexible and can be adjusted over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and at different times. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family commitments, or travel while still accessing skilled therapists who can guide progress and provide tailored support.
