About Lalida
Lalida Puengklai is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, family problems and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Thai and she accepts international clients.
Lalida writes plainly about how past events can shape present reactions. She asks questions about feeling not enough, sudden anger, persistent anxiety, and the difficulty of putting yourself first. In sessions she focuses on helping people understand why they cope the way they do and on finding strengths that are already present.
Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods. She uses person-centred ways to help people reflect on their thoughts and needs. She also works with attachment ideas to look at early patterns that affect current relationships. Mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas are used to develop self-awareness and gentler self-talk.
Before private practice she worked in the NHS and in charities supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. That background informs her work with trauma, grief and family of origin issues. She says she listens rather than diagnosing, and aims to help people see themselves as whole, even with difficult parts.
Sessions can be short or long term, depending on what a person needs. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Her work draws on person-centred practice, attachment-informed ideas and mindfulness-based techniques. Person-centred practice means the counsellor helps you talk through thoughts and feelings and encourages self-discovery; it suits issues around self-esteem and relationship patterns. Attachment-informed work explores how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and can help with anger that arises in close relationships. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce intense reactivity and support calmer responses.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist discusses your goals and preferences and together you try approaches that fit your needs. Methods can be adjusted as you learn what helps and what does not, so the plan evolves rather than being fixed from the start.
Confirm the exact session formats when you book, as the biography does not specify formats here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments and can reduce travel time. Shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quick break fits better into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you to choose a practical option that suits your routine and goals.
