About Lalida

Lalida Puengklai offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship problems and low self-esteem. She helps people feeling overwhelmed by grief, anger or life changes. Lalida writes in a direct, kind way and aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward.

She speaks English and Thai and works with adults. Lalida holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Lalida views therapy as a shared process.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps people understand why they respond as they do. Sessions focus on strengths and on small, practical changes that build over time. The aim is not to label someone but to reconnect people with resources they already have.

Her background includes work in the NHS and in charities supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. That experience informs how she approaches trauma and related concerns. Lalida has three years of professional experience and draws on a variety of psychological methods to match each person's needs.

People can expect a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult memories, feelings of emptiness or ongoing anxiety. She explains things plainly and helps set realistic steps between sessions. Therapy can be short term or longer term depending on what each person wants.

Lalida trained at the University of Derby and holds a Master's degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, person-centred listening, attachment-informed work, mindfulness and compassion-focused techniques. These are applied together to suit the person sitting in front of her.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Lalida lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How integrative approaches work online

Many of Lalida's approaches draw on well established psychological ideas. Cognitive behavioural concepts focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality; this can help with anxiety, low mood and panic by teaching practical tools to manage difficult moments. Person-centred listening provides a respectful, non-directive space where a person can talk, be heard and begin to uncover their own answers; this is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure of themselves.

She also uses attachment-informed work and compassion-focused techniques to help people understand patterns that began in close relationships and to develop kinder ways of relating to themselves. Each approach is explained in simple terms and chosen together with the client based on what feels most useful and realistic for them.

Online therapy with Lalida is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in without video, while text-based options let someone reflect in writing between appointments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels most helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so therapy stays practical and effective even when delivered remotely.
