About Lalida
Lalida Puengklai helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and major life changes. She offers a calm, steady presence for people who feel overwhelmed, judged or stuck. Lalida speaks English and Thai and works with adults from many backgrounds.
Her style is warm and person-focused. Sessions aim to make sense of what is happening now and why patterns repeat. Lalida listens first and helps people name feelings like shame, emptiness or isolation.
Background and approach
From there she and the person explore practical steps that feel manageable day to day. Lalida draws on several evidence-based ways of working. She emphasises connection, understanding early life and attachment, and gentle skills for coping with strong emotions.
The work can include shorter-term focused sessions or longer exploration if that is needed. She trained with a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Her past roles include work in the NHS and charities supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse.
People who choose Lalida often want a non-judgemental space to talk through painful memories, manage anxiety, rebuild self-esteem, or cope with compassion fatigue. Conversations are straightforward and practical, with attention to cultural background and individual values.

Online support
Attachment-informed work looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current responses to closeness, trust and conflict. It can help people make different choices in relationships and reduce repeated cycles of hurt.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with the person to choose which approaches to use. Decisions are based on the person’s goals, the issues they bring and what feels most helpful in sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations when visual contact helps. Phone sessions are easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, written exchanges that suit people who prefer to type or need to reflect between messages. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life.
