About Lalida

Lalida Puengklai works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She uses an integrative approach and invites clients to examine how past events affect current coping. Lalida is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

Lalida offers straightforward counselling aimed at helping people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that come from early relationships and current life stresses. She talks things through with clients and helps them put practical steps in place to manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.

Her background includes work in the NHS and charities supporting people affected by sexual abuse and domestic abuse. That experience informs her practice with people who have experienced trauma, grief, anger or relationship harm. She has also supported people with mood problems, panic, obsessive thoughts, eating difficulties, self-harm and work-related stress.

She trained at the University of Derby and gained a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, with registration through BACP. Lalida draws on a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, person-centred work, attachment theory, mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas to suit different needs.

Lalida works with adults and has worked with people aged 18 to 70. She is based in the United Kingdom and is originally from Bangkok, Thailand, and offers sessions in English and Thai. International clients can be accepted; confirm session options before booking.

Approaches used in online sessions

Integrative counselling combines a few complementary methods so sessions can focus on what helps each person most. Person-centred work places the client’s experience at the centre and supports self-reflection and personal choice; it can help with low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Attachment-informed work looks at patterns that began in early relationships and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses; it can be useful for abandonment, jealousy, and attachment difficulties.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then use ideas from different approaches to match the client’s needs.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to access support from a clinician while living in another area or country.
