About insideaway

The story inside, so far…

Every one of us is carrying a whole family of parts. This is where ours started listening.

About us

Care for the family inside your mind.

Over years in the counseling room, we kept noticing the same thing… When something hurts, the first question we ask ourselves is “So how do I fix it?” — when the truth is that we never stopped long enough to hear what the parts inside us were trying to say. And when we rush to fix without listening, the same story tends to loop back around.

The other thing we see often is that people wait… They wait until the heart is badly broken before they dare to come and talk, as if you had to fall apart first to deserve help. But caring for your mind doesn’t have to begin at a crisis, and it doesn’t have to wait for a therapy room. Stopping to breathe for a moment on a tiring day already counts as looking after yourself.

insideaway grew out of one intention — to move the work of caring for your mind out of the therapy room and into your everyday life.

What we do

Our services & approach

We offer counseling and psychotherapy led by a psychologist, working in the IFS model — Internal Family Systems.

IFS holds that each of us carries “parts” — inner voices that work together as a system. Therapy in this model is not about changing or getting rid of what you dislike in yourself. It is about coming to understand every part, learning from it, and holding all of it safely, so that you can lead your own life again in balance.

For yourself

Ages 18–40+ From studying and early career into midlife — burnout, built-up stress and anxiety, low moods, and relationship strain. You do not need fixing. There is a calm, steady part of you that knows the way, and we help you reconnect with it.

For Family

Most family struggles come down to communication and conflict — not one person being “broken,” but each of you seeing it differently and talking past each other. The problem lives in the space between you, so we help everyone understand and connect again.

For your child

Ages 13–17. Big feelings, tangled thoughts, and a loneliness no one seems to notice. None of it means something’s wrong with you — every part is trying to tell you something. Here, you learn to listen, and to feel understood.

Our values

Build the life you choose

You can build the life you choose — once you can hear what’s going on inside.

Most of what keeps us stuck isn’t laziness or lack of effort. It’s an inner voice we’ve never actually listened to. When you start hearing it clearly, options you couldn’t see before begin to appear.

No part of you is bad

No part of you is bad.

In IFS, the part that procrastinates, snaps at people, or criticizes you every morning isn’t trying to hurt you. It’s stuck in a role it took on when you had no other option. So we don’t work by eliminating parts or fixing habits. We get to know them first.

Listening is where it shifts

Honest listening is where things start to shift.

A struggling part only softens when it senses you genuinely want to understand it — not just make it go away. That trust comes from listening, not forcing. And often, that alone is enough for a way forward to appear.

What you need is in you

What you need is already in you.

IFS calls it Self: the calm, curious, compassionate core that stays undamaged no matter what you’ve been through. Our job isn’t to fix you. It’s to help the other parts step back a little, so you can lead your own life again.

A map, not a verdict

Your chart is a map, not a verdict.

We use astrology openly alongside IFS. Your chart shows your baseline and your timing; IFS shows what’s happening inside your inner team today. Together they give a clearer picture than either alone — and help you decide with awareness, instead of waiting for fate to handle it.

Good fortune is built

Good fortune is something you build.

What actually changes the outcome is how you choose when the moment arrives. The better you know yourself, the better you choose.

Meet your parts

Every part took on a job to protect you — even the ones that make life harder.

Who you’ll sit with

Benjawan Taokuen (Boom)

I am a psychologist who will never tell you that a part of you is ‘bad’, or that it shouldn’t be there.

Over the years, as a counseling psychologist and psychotherapist, I have worked closely with children, teenagers and parents in international schools, with university students in Thailand and abroad, and with working adults across many walks of life. One thing has held true throughout… the core in every one of us — the True Self — is strong, wise, and entirely ready to look after our life. It is only that on the hard days the other parts inside may be carrying something so heavy that we forget the strength that was ours all along.

My work is not to turn you into someone else. It is to travel beside you and help you find and draw out that “true self” — to heal what was hurt, to help parents and children hear each other again, and to spare a younger generation from carrying what is too heavy to carry alone.

This is a safe place… and you do not have to walk it alone any longer.

Meet the family in your mind.
