Lalida Puengklai

Lalida Puengklai is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, compassion fatigue and major life changes. Lalida speaks English and Thai and works with adults from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.

She takes a person-centred approach and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters most to them. Sessions focus on understanding why current patterns happen and on building the strengths already present. Lalida believes healing is not just fixing what’s wrong but seeing yourself as a complete person, even with painful parts.

Her background includes three years of practice and registration with 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. That experience informs how she responds to trauma, safety concerns and sensitive disclosures.

Lalida uses a mix of evidence-based techniques, applying approaches that fit each person’s needs rather than one set method. She draws on attachment ideas and mindfulness, among other methods, to help with issues such as body image, attachment wounds, dissociation, mood problems and family of origin difficulties.

People who choose to work with her usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions through the service. Costs vary by region and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and close connections. This approach helps when people notice clinginess, avoidance or long-standing fears about being abandoned, and it supports learning new ways of relating to others.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple exercises to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily signals without reacting. These skills can reduce rumination and anxiety, and they help people build steadier ways of coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Lalida works collaboratively to test what helps most, adapting methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than sticking to one style.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, saving travel time and allowing people to join from different locations. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for meetings without being on camera if that feels more comfortable. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available when booking so arrangements match your needs and daily routine.
