Athalie de Koning combines her passions for music and mental health advocacy in Bangkok. From performing jazz to leading ACT, she nurtures creativity, care and community impact.

In this Friday Future Lister edition, we celebrate women who inspire, lead and create impact in their communities. Some push their own horizons while uplifting the communities around them. Some breathe new life into tradition through innovation. And some transform personal passion into wider purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among them is a woman whose life bridges two worlds: music and mental health, each influencing the other in profound ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koktail delves into the story of Athalie de Koning, a Dutch-born, Bangkok-based musician, educator and mental health advocate whose dual roles reflect both her artistic spirit and her commitment to community wellbeing. Through her voice, her teaching and her leadership in founding the Accredited Counsellors of Thailand (ACT), she continues to shape spaces where creativity and compassion meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
