Opening in January 2026, the Essentia Health Clinic in Phuket, Thailand, marks an exciting new chapter in the international expansion of Essentia Health. The Phuket clinic will provide evidence-based psychotherapy, trauma therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions for residents and expatriates throughout Southeast Asia.
The clinic is co-located with the WISE Mind Retreat Centre, allowing clients to access intensive therapy retreats, DBT skills immersion programs, and wellness-focused services in a tranquil and restorative environment.
This expansion reflects Dr. Peter L. King’s commitment to developing a network of mental health services that combine clinical excellence with holistic wellbeing — supporting individuals across Australia, Asia, and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
