Find Counsellor in Hua Hin
Find a Counsellor in Hua Hin for Adults, Children & Couples
Finding a counsellor in Hua Hin can sometimes feel challenging, as many counselling services in Thailand are based in larger cities such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai. However, seeking counselling remains one of the many ways individuals can support and improve their overall health and wellbeing. Counselling offers a personal and reflective setting, where individuals can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others.
Counselling and therapy can be an essential resource for those wishing to build a more fulfilling and meaningful life, as well as for individuals experiencing emotional distress or facing significant life challenges. Therapy can help reduce and manage symptoms that may affect daily functioning, while also supporting longer-term personal growth. Our experience has consistently shown that individual counselling provides valuable benefits beyond medication alone. While medication may help relieve certain symptoms, counselling can support individuals in understanding the underlying causes of their difficulties, developing effective coping strategies, and gaining insight into healthier patterns of thinking and behaviour.

Counselling Fees
We believe that accessing therapy should be straightforward, fair, and transparent. While some counselling practices charge higher fees for couples or family sessions—or increase prices for evening or weekend appointments—we take a different approach.
At Counselling Thailand, all fees are charged per session, not per person, and are the same regardless of whether your appointment is on a weekday, evening, or weekend. We believe this reflects our commitment to making therapy accessible and to supporting relationships without adding financial or scheduling barriers.
You can view our current fees by visiting our Fees and Appointments page.
Free Initial Consultation
Before making any commitment we offer the following:
- Free 15 minute Zoom video consultation for individuals
- Free 30 minute Zoom video consultation for couples and families.
This gives the opportunity to discuss things further, answer any questions you have and if you are happy to proceed, arrange a mutually convenient time for the first full counselling session.

This will give a little extra information to help us select whom we believe the most suitable therapist would be and then we can email you a list of available appointment times for the free initial consultation.

➢ Experiencing traumatic and overwhelming events – If you have experienced any event which is particularly overwhelming and traumatic, and are finding it difficult to re-engage fully in your day to day life, you may benefit from seeking some help.
➢ Your loved ones are expressing concern about you – If people around you express concern about your actions and behaviours and you hear the same message over and over from those close to you, it may be time to speak to a counsellor.
➢ Get rid of unnecessary baggage – More often than not, our view of ourselves and also the world around us is set in stone, from past experiences and memories. Sometimes, we may not even be aware of how they affect and shape us as individuals. These entrenched ideas can ultimately weigh us down and also prevent us from discovering new aspects of who we are and also, can become.
➢ Seeking more meaning in life – Some individuals may be simply seeking a deeper meaning to aspects that shape their lives, or desiring heightened passion for what you’re already engaging in. A counsellor may be able to provide different ideas and perspectives which can help individuals live a more fulfilling life.
➢ Issues are beginning to affect work, relationships or school life – When your issues begin to affect your personal life, this should be a clear sign as to why seeking help is important.
If you feel you relate to any of the above and experience emotions intensely enough that they interfere with daily life, therapy may be able to help you reduce the effects. It is crucial to bear in mind, you need to get help if you feel controlled by symptoms or they could cause harm to you and those around you.
