About Lalida
Counsellor and BACP member Lalida Puengklai has three years' experience offering counselling in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Lalida also supports people facing grief, anger, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
Lalida uses an integrative approach and draws on several evidence-based techniques to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on helping people understand how past events affect current coping, noticing patterns such as attachment or avoidance, and finding practical ways to manage intense emotions. She listens without diagnosing and encourages clients to name what matters most to them.
Her background includes work in the NHS and charities that support people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. That experience informs her work with trauma-related concerns and family of origin issues. She trained at the University of Derby and holds a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Lalida offers counselling in English and Thai and can work with people from different cultural backgrounds. She sees adults aged 18 to 70 for both short- and long-term work, and accepts international clients.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online counselling options button.
Approaches used in online counselling
Person-centred work focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor offers non-directive listening and helps the person name feelings and values. This can suit people wanting clearer sense of who they are and what matters to them.Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape patterns now. It helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, and can be useful for anxiety, relationship difficulties and issues around abandonment or trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lalida will discuss different ways of working and agree what feels most useful. This is a collaborative step that adjusts as therapy progresses and as goals change.
