Counselling in English, Wherever You Are in Myanmar
If you are looking for an English-speaking therapist in Yangon, Mandalay or elsewhere in Myanmar, sessions take place online. You can join from home, from work or from any room where you can talk privately. You do not need perfect English. You need to be comfortable talking about personal matters in it. Clients include both expats and people from Myanmar.
Counselling for teachers is written for teachers at international and language schools in Myanmar and Thailand.
What Counselling Can Help With
Sessions for adults and couples cover:
- Complex trauma (C-PTSD)
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Life transitions, including adjusting to life in a new country
- Relationship difficulties, on your own or as a couple
Sessions draw on narrative therapy, somatic work, parts work and CBT techniques with mindfulness. Therapy approaches explains each one.
Privacy
A session needs a private room where you will not be overheard and a phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone. Headphones help if others are nearby. Because sessions are online, there is no waiting room where you might meet someone you know. How online sessions work covers this in more detail, and the Privacy page explains how your information is handled.
