Hi, I’m Orapan
I am a warm and compassionate Registered Psychologist who enjoys supporting people in navigating life’s challenges and reconnecting with what matters most to them. I believe that therapy works best when people feel safe, understood, and respected, and I aim to create a space where clients can speak openly without judgment. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences and develop practical skills to support their well-being. I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing and other modalities. I have experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, and other mental health concerns. I value working with people from diverse backgrounds and am committed to providing culturally sensitive and person-centred care. I am multilingual, I speak English, Thai and Lao. I integrate both Eastern and Western philosophies into my therapy.
