About Lalida
Lalida Puengklai, BACP, is a counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and grief. Lalida also supports those dealing with anger, compassion fatigue and the strain of major life changes.
She writes plainly about how past events can shape current coping. Sessions focus on understanding why a person reacts as they do. Lalida helps people notice strengths that can be used to manage difficult feelings rather than only trying to 'fix' problems.
Lalida uses an integrative way of working. That means she draws on more than one evidence-based method to suit the person in the room. She mentions person-centred work, attachment ideas, mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches among others. The emphasis is on listening and exploring personal experience rather than giving labels.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Derby and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in the NHS and with charities supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse.
Lalida works with adults from about 18 to 70 and is comfortable supporting people from different cultural backgrounds. She offers sessions in English and Thai, and accepts international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lalida draws on a small set of evidence-based techniques to guide her work. Person-centred work focuses on the client’s own experience and values. It involves attentive listening and reflections to help people name their feelings and think through choices, which can suit concerns like low self-esteem and relationship strain.Attachment-informed ideas look at patterns of relating that formed early in life. Talking about those patterns can clarify why certain situations trigger strong reactions, which is often helpful for social anxiety, abandonment feelings and difficulties with trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lalida will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then use one or more approaches to fit the person’s needs. She describes the process as collaborative and adaptive rather than fixed.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups without needing to attend in person. Different formats also suit different tasks - for example, shorter phone check-ins can be useful between longer meetings, while video allows face-to-face conversation when that is helpful.
