Counselling Retreat

Your Counselling Retreat is more than just counselling and some Life Coaching. It condenses about 4 or 5 months of counselling, life coaching and therapy into a unique programme which allows you to sort out problems and make lasting changes. Your holiday includes:

• 7-14 nights at a beautiful 5-star boutique hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
• Clinical personality profile
• 16 Hour Individual Counselling Retreat Programme
• Private transfers where needed.
• Life Change Action Plan
• 12 weeks follow up Counselling Support (our support doesn't end when you return home)

Every day you'll meet with your counsellor who will lead you through the 16 hour programme, sorting out difficulties and problems along the way. This process starts with your Personality Profile and works towards your Life Change Action Plan. There are no group sessions, it moves at your own pace and we don't do anything scary or weird.

We are qualified senior practitioners with over 100 years combined experience. Over the past 30 years we've been working with advances in Motivational Psychology, Personality Profiling and evidence based counselling interventions.

Whatever life is throwing at you we'll be able to help.

Counselling Retreat Location

We use the best 5* boutique hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand called Puripunn Boutique Hotel. It's beautiful. We know the staff really well, including the owners Khun Att and his wife Khun Koy. They will look after you like a member of their own family without being intrusive. We have our own office in your hotel so everything is easy and convenient.

The hotel is quiet and tranquil, the pool is beautiful, the food is second to none and the orchids are out of this world. Each room is individually decorated and furnished and has its own balcony. It's perfect. You'll love it.

Counselling Retreat Activities

It's important to have time out from counselling so we have a range of activities to suit everyone, from top class wellness and spa treatments to meditation classes to wine tasting. We have about 50 different activities and outings to choose from. This is a very small selection to give you an idea:

• Tour amazing mountain top Buddhist Temples
• World class Spa and Wellness treatments
• Yoga and Mindfulness
• Vegetable Carving and Thai Cooking
• Learn to fly
• Market food tasting tour
• World famous Night Bazaar
• Elephant Sanctuary where you learn how to look after elephants

All our activities and excursions are private and created just for you. Our Holiday Manager Khun Sonthaya (the kindest man on the planet) will be your guide and look after you during all outings. Let us know what you enjoy and we'll build a tailor made holiday just for you. Just contact us for the full list.
