About Lalida
Lalida Puengklai offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger and coping with life changes. She also helps with compassion fatigue and related concerns such as attachment struggles, body image, dissociation and family-of-origin issues. Lalida introduces herself as a warm, approachable counsellor who wants clients to feel truly heard. She says the goal is to uncover strengths that are already there and to help people feel more whole again.
She frames therapy as a joint journey rather than a quick fix. Sessions focus on understanding why patterns developed and how they affect daily life now. Lalida aims to create space to explore painful memories and current challenges at a pace that feels manageable.
Lalida 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. She has three years' experience and has worked in the NHS and with charities supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse.
Her practice draws on several evidence-based techniques including person-centred work, attachment ideas, mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches. She says she tailors methods to each person rather than using one set approach for everyone. Lalida offers sessions in English and Thai and is based in the United Kingdom.
People who want to begin are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. She accepts international clients and aims to help people build manageable steps toward change.
How therapeutic approaches fit online and why they help
Person-centred work focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space where the client leads the topic. Online sessions that use this approach let people set the pace and bring the issues that matter most to them, whether it is stress, relationship worries or low self-worth.Attachment-informed work looks at relationship patterns that began earlier in life and how they show up now. Delivered through talking and reflective exercises, it can help with fears around abandonment, clinginess or emotional distance and supports changes in how people relate to others.
Compassion-focused and mindfulness-based ideas teach ways to respond to difficult feelings with gentleness rather than self-criticism. These methods often include short practices and gentle exercises that people can use between sessions to manage anxiety, shame and overwhelm.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which approaches suit the person's goals, needs and preferences and will adjust methods as the work progresses. Clients are involved in choices about what to try and when to move at a different pace.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, making scheduling easier and allowing conversations to happen from familiar surroundings. Online work also makes it simpler to maintain regular contact and to try short check-ins when time is limited.
