About Pannavat
Dr. Pannavat Veeraburinon is a counselling psychologist who draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people find clarity and purpose. He uses practical techniques and gentle challenge to help clients notice patterns, try different ways of coping, and move towards goals.
He is known to people by his nickname Palm and works in English and Thai. He trained at Glasgow Caledonian University where he completed a doctorate in Counselling Psychology and holds a Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Stirling.
How Pannavat works
He is registered with the HCPC. He has also completed a certificate in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy from the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. Palm has delivered over 4,000 counselling sessions and has worked with a wide range of people across many countries.
That experience has informed his sensitivity to cultural background and how it shapes family roles, expectations, and personal meaning. In sessions he blends practical strategies from cognitive approaches with client-centred listening and attention to attachment and emotion. He aims to build a trusting working relationship and to offer tools that can be used between meetings.
He also brings mindfulness practices into the work for people who find them helpful. Palm describes therapy as collaborative. He will ask direct questions when needed and offer reflections and exercises tailored to each person.
The focus is on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, trauma and grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. He keeps a broad clinical focus that includes addictions, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, career questions, and identity concerns. He welcomes clients who want practical steps alongside thoughtful reflection.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, then building new coping skills. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and certain eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest whether ACT, CBT or client-centred ways of working best fit your needs. Decisions are made together and can change as you progress.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or flexible support across the week. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on what helps you most.
