Counselling / Therapy works by providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Through various techniques and approaches, therapists help clients gain insight, develop coping skills, and make positive changes in their lives.

By definition, in some countries counselling typically focuses on specific issues or situations, while therapy is more comprehensive and may delve deeper into underlying mental or emotional issues. For our work with clients we will use the terms interchangeably as part of the same process.

Counselling (Thailand) Co., Ltd provides counselling and talk therapy services only. We are not a licensed medical practice so we are unable to provide any psychological diagnosis for mental health disorders, psychiatric testing, treatment or prescriptions for medications. If any of the above is required we recommend you contact one of the international hospitals Bangkok Hospital or Bumrungrad (Bangkok based clients) and for clients outside of Bangkok we recommend you contact the nearest Bangkok hospital branch.

If it seems like medication could be helpful, your therapist might suggest connecting you with a psychiatrist or another healthcare professional who is qualified and capable of undertaking psychological/psychiatric assessments and prescribing medication as a potential treatment component . Combining medication with therapy can often be an effective approach for addressing certain issues however Counselling (Thailand) Co., Ltd provides counselling and talk therapy services only.
