A quiet space, on both sides
You need somewhere private where you will not be interrupted for the full hour. I do the same. Sessions from a car, an office corridor, or a shared apartment do not work — and I will say so.
In immediate distress? Call Samaritans of Thailand 1323 (24 hours, English & Thai) or 1669 for emergencies.

You live outside Bangkok — elsewhere in Thailand, or across Asia-Pacific.
You travel often for work and cannot commit to a fixed physical clinic.
You are an expatriate returning home and wish to continue the work with the same psychologist.
You are a Thai national living abroad and want a psychologist who understands both cultures.
You value the privacy of not walking into a clinic in a city where you may be recognised.
Anxiety, low mood, burnout, and stress.
Grief, loss, and transitions.
Long-standing relational patterns and self-criticism.
Cross-cultural adjustment and the invisible weight of expat life.
Couples work, when both partners can be in the same room and on camera.
Continuation of existing therapy when you have moved cities.
Fifteen years of research suggests that, for most adult presentations, online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy when done well. It is not a compromise; it is a legitimate second modality. Here is what makes it work.
You need somewhere private where you will not be interrupted for the full hour. I do the same. Sessions from a car, an office corridor, or a shared apartment do not work — and I will say so.
Sessions use encrypted video designed for clinical use — not consumer chat apps. No recording, ever, by either of us.
The same CBT, ACT, schema, and psychodynamic tools used in the physical clinic. Adapted slightly — silences are held a little more explicitly; homework between sessions carries more weight — but the substance is unchanged.
Many online clients meet me in person once or twice a year when travel through Bangkok allows. It is not necessary, but it deepens the work.
Continuity — the same psychologist through moves, sabbaticals, and postings.
The same measurable improvements in anxiety, mood, and functioning as in-person clients.
A therapy that fits your life, rather than one you must arrange your life around.
The privacy of doing the work from a room you already trust.
For the great majority of adult mental-health difficulties, yes. Randomised trials over the past decade show comparable outcomes for anxiety, depression, trauma, and couples work. Some presentations — acute risk, severe personality difficulties, or work needing in-vivo exposure — are better held in person, and I will say so.
I work primarily with clients between GMT+5 (Islamabad) and GMT+11 (Sydney). Sessions outside those hours are possible occasionally but not routinely.
A private room, a stable internet connection, and a device with a good camera and microphone. I send a secure session link for each meeting; no account setup is required on your side.
We agree at the start of the first session what happens: I call your phone, we resume, and the missed minutes are added to the session where possible. Technology fails occasionally; the relationship does not depend on the wifi.
Yes. Sessions use an end-to-end encrypted, clinically approved video platform. Nothing is recorded, stored on servers, or accessible to third parties. My notes remain on an encrypted local device, exactly as for in-person work.
Yes — many clients do. When you are in Bangkok, we meet in the room; when you travel or move, we continue online. The work does not restart.
Fifteen minutes on the phone or on video, at no cost. You describe what is happening; we decide whether online work together is the right next step.
