About The Founder
Dirk J. Lambert (MSc.)
Dirk J. Lambert, Founder and Lead Psychotherapist at New Paradigm, is an accredited PTSD and Clinical Trauma Specialist with 25+ years of experience.
He is a twice-ordained Buddhist Monk and regarded as one of the leading experts on alternative and holistic therapies.
Abuse, Suffering and Depression
While he’s a highly regarded expert in his field, his beginnings entailed abuse, suffering, and depression during his teenage years, and this subsequently led to substance abuse and addiction.
Commando and Business Executive
Eventually, he pulled himself from this downward spiral and joined the military in Marche Les Dammes, Belgium, where he completed Para Commando Training. Later, he became a non commissioned officer (NCO) with the 1st Cavalry Belgium Army as a drill instructor and tank commander on CVRT stationed at the East German border in Germany.
Dirk went on to qualify as a IBM at AT&T systems engineer and excelled in each of his information tech businesses he created next in Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand.
Still, he didn’t feel complete. Money and fame was abundant but left him feeling empty and dissatisfied.
Despite success, money and fame feeling empty and dissatisfied
Dirk finally began to feel whole when he began to help others as a volunteer and PTSD counselor for U.S. war veterans in Vietnam. He accompanied, coached, and counselled them on their recovery journeys.
Those heavily traumatised ex-soldiers returned to Vietnam for the first time after the war with the sole objective of healing their emotional scars and putting their demons to rest.
Starting the First Rehabilitation and Recovery Center in Thailand
In 2000, Dirk launched Thailand’s first alternative rehab and recovery center, which expanded to three locations. Over the next fifteen years, Dirk would help countless clients and study Chinese Herbal Medicine.
In 2005, he became certified as a Live Blood Analysis Technician and Practitioner by Metagenics Australia.
Ordained as Buddhist Monk
In 2015, and again in 2018, Dirk was ordained as a Buddhist monk and worked as a senior counselor and advisor for the world-renowned Wat Tham Krabok drug rehab center in Thailand.
In 2008, he launched New Paradigm, which is also an official treatment center for sexual abuse victims per the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal in Melbourne, Australia.
