More often than not, people who come to counseling or psychotherapy don’t actually have a disorder or mental illness, but rather are just experiencing a bit of a “bump in the road” or somewhat of a minor life difficulty and need someone with whom to talk. In these cases, counseling and/or life coaching can be very helpful even just a few sessions.

When picking a counselor, psychologist, or psychotherapist it’s important to evaluate a number factors.

Most importantly, is the psychotherapist qualified? In most Western countries, in order to qualify as a psychotherapist, one must have an advanced degree and be licensed by an official licensure board.

In Bangkok, you will find a wide array of qualifications. Some psychotherapist are very qualified, while some are very under qualified. In my years in Bangkok, I have even come across various psychotherapists who actually claim fraudulent credentials. A psychotherapist’s credentials should be easily verifiable.

Most licensure bodies have websites that will allow you to quickly verify a psychotherapist’s credentials online. Before choosing a psychotherapist, I recommend that you ask for a link to such websites.

If a psychotherapist who does not willingly offer you up such verification methods, I would consider that a red flag.

There may come a time when you are thinking of talking to someone. This could be a friend, family member or a professional counsellor in Bangkok. Dealing with issues such as stress, burn out, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety or depression are not uncommon and more and more people are finding relief through counselling. Taking that first step of speaking to a counsellor for the first time can be daunting so before you make any commitment we offer a free 15 minute initial consultation call. This allows you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about the type of therapy offered and most importantly to see if our recommended counsellor is the best fit for you.

The initial consultation is not only free but completely private and confidential and before booking you can choose whether you wish the consultation to be with a male or female therapist and in your preferred language.

Below are examples of just some of our therapeutic practices, to help you understand what to expect when researching counselling services in Bangkok.

Cognitive-behavioural therapy, or CBT, is one of the best types of counselling available when looking for a CBT therapist in Bangkok. It works well to treat things like anxiety, depression, and to help with substance abuse.

CBT looks at the thoughts that precede our emotions and our actions. Think about it like this, if someone were to walk up to you and just start laughing in your face, what would your reaction be? Would you be scared? Angry? Uncomfortable? In a split second, your mind evaluated the situation and told you what to feel.

These thoughts are like rules you follow and were likely things you learned growing up. This could be something along the lines of the world be dangerous, people are untrustworthy, people like me when I act silly, or things like that. They happened so long ago that they are a habit now, and you are not conscious of them.

Working with a professional therapist in a supportive environment, you will discover those old rules. Then you will start to slow your thinking down and evaluate things critically. You will challenge these old assumptions and create new and healthier thoughts to follow.

Person-centred counselling by professional therapists means that we will always start by talking with you and finding out what your needs are, and what it is you want to accomplish in counselling.

What research has shown is that you have to want to change. The easiest way to do that is in a safe, and validating environment. When you go see a counsellor in Bangkok, we will work to understand your situation and your needs as an individual. We are not here to judge, or tell people what they are doing is right or wrong. We want to, instead, help you figure out what is healthy for you, and what makes you calm, peaceful and happy.

All of this is why your goals become our goals as well. We are not going to tell you to stop doing one thing if your individual goals are something completely unrelated. In person-centred approaches, you are the focus, and we listen to you fully, without judgment.

Emotionally focused therapy is another form of counselling that we use to help people in need. We believe that emotions are very connected to human needs and actions. We try to understand those emotions to help our clients make better choices.
