You may be in the midst of a casual conversation, feel like you said something wrong, and fill with dread at the conclusion that everyone now hates you.

Why The Dawn Wellness Centre Thailand is Your Best Choice for Anxiety Retreat


The Dawn’s highly qualified clinical team is Western-trained and fully licensed. We constantly continue our education, advance our certification levels and attend international conferences on the most pressing mental health issues. We’re always up to date with the latest therapeutic developments so we can offer you the best treatment methods available.

Why Residential Wellness Retreats for Anxiety


While the convenience of outpatient treatment is a draw for many, to fully reap the benefits of an anxiety treatment programme, inpatient treatment is recommended. In a residential setting, you’ll receive 24-hour support from a team of dedicated professionals, each of whom play a role in your recovery process. And in addition to intensive counselling, you’ll be supported with a variety of complementary wellness therapies to deepen your self-exploration and soothe your body and mind.

How Our Anxiety Treatment Works


We use our own, effective treatment model called the Twin Pillars – this incorporates both conventional therapies and holistic practices to help you fully heal.

Comprehensive Anxiety Counselling


Our clinical team employs time-tested techniques like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy (MCBT) to help you understand the source of your anxiety, change your thinking patterns and learn how to effectively manage it.

We also use cutting-edge technologies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to effectively treat anxiety without the use of medication.

Holistic Wellness Therapies


In addition to conventional therapy, you’ll receive a variety of wellness services, such as:

  • Mindfulness meditation training and practice
  • Spa and massage therapy
  • Yoga, Pilates and Muay Thai classes
  • Art therapy

These accomplish a few things: Firstly, they help you to de-stress, feel well and get into a receptive frame of mind that benefits your counselling work. And secondly, they help you cultivate a practice that you can take with you when you leave, to keep your anxiety at bay and deal with it in a healthy way when it arises.

While you’re here, you’ll also receive nutritional guidance and eat a wholesome, mood-boosting diet. And you’ll have access to our gym, swimming pool and riverside meditation spaces to unwind during your downtime.
