Lighthouse Human Services & Consulting

Counselling for international and Thai clients

Lighthouse Human Services & Counseling has worked with Thai and international clients in Bangkok since 2012. Its services cover individual counselling and psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, couples and marriage counselling, ADHD and psychological testing, autism and AuDHD assessment, addiction treatment, educational testing and life coaching. The practice also identifies expat adjustment, work stress, relationship problems and cross-cultural couples among the concerns it regularly addresses.

Practitioner and languages

The practice identifies Dr Eric K. Mason as an American licensed clinical mental-health counsellor and licensed clinical addictions specialist with a doctorate in counselling psychology. It encourages potential clients to request links to licensing boards and verify credentials directly, which is a useful safeguard when choosing psychological services in Bangkok. Sessions are conducted in English, and Dr Mason also speaks German and Thai. The service covers children from about age six, adolescents and adults, depending on the concern and assessment required.

Privacy and appointment process

The website explains confidentiality, including limits that may apply when there is an imminent risk of serious harm. A first enquiry does not commit someone to treatment. The usual process is to send a message or call, receive a reply about fit and practical questions, and then arrange a first session if appropriate. Fees, session format and scheduling are discussed directly. Sessions can take place at a Bangkok office or online, which is useful for expats outside the city or people who prefer remote appointments.

Locations and contact

The practice lists offices at TT Building 888 on Sukhumvit 81, Phra Khanong, and The Racquet Club on Sukhumvit 49/9. Published hours are Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 18:00, and the telephone number is 092-288-7234. The email text was masked in the verified browser extract, so it should not be guessed. The site displays a Ministry of Public Health accreditation statement but no exact registry identifier was extracted; the registry field should therefore remain empty until the underlying number can be verified.

Deciding whether the service fits

The practice covers both therapy and formal assessment, which involve different processes. Individual or couples counselling may begin with discussion of goals and the therapeutic approach. ADHD, autism, AuDHD or educational testing typically requires a defined assessment pathway, instruments and a written outcome. A prospective client should ask how many sessions are involved, whether collateral information is needed and what type of report is provided. Parents can clarify whether school records or teacher input will be requested.

For expats, cross-cultural context can be central rather than incidental. Relationship expectations, relocation stress, isolation, work pressure and uncertainty about remaining in Thailand may shape the reason for seeking support. The site explicitly addresses expat adjustment and cross-cultural couples, making that focus relevant to the profile. Online sessions add continuity for clients who travel or move within Thailand, although location and professional rules should still be discussed if a client joins from another country.

The website makes credential verification part of its own advice. The directory can reinforce that practical step without certifying qualifications independently. Clients should request the relevant licensing-board link and check the name and status themselves. They can also ask how records are stored, what happens if urgent support is needed between sessions and which situations fall outside the practice’s scope. A routine contact form must never be presented as crisis care.
