Mr Jonathan Garrett

Counselor

verified by TherapyRoute

An attentive and responsive counselor with over 20 years of living abroad, well versed in intercultural situations that can cause distress. I utilize schema analysis to discover coping styles and work in an overall existential approach to help clients rediscover meaning, purpose, or identity.

About Me

With over 20 years living abroad, I understand the unique distress that intercultural situations can bring. As an attentive and responsive counsellor, I help clients **unravel** these challenges. We use schema analysis to understand your coping styles, fostering a path to rediscover meaning, purpose, or identity. This approach creates a compassionate space for you to find your way forward.

Approach

Building on our work to unravel intercultural stresses, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace: we map recurring patterns, test out small changes in thinking and behaviour, and reflect on what those shifts mean for your relationships and sense of self. I offer in-person appointments in Bangkok and online in English, and I often suggest brief exercises between sessions to track progress and strengthen new responses. People navigating relocation, career shifts or trust and control struggles tend to find this focused, meaning-seeking rhythm useful.
