About Lalida
Lalida Puengklai is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, panic attacks, stress and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and the emotional fallout of life changes. Lalida writes plainly and creates space for people to speak without judgment.
Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people understand why they react as they do. Sessions aim to uncover strengths that have been hidden by worry, shame or past hurt. The goal is to build skills for day-to-day coping as well as deeper healing over time.
Lalida trained at the University of Derby and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience and has worked in the NHS and with charities supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse.
She uses a mix of well-known therapeutic techniques rather than a single model. That lets her tailor each session to the person in front of her and to the problems they bring, whether that is panic attacks, depression, or family of origin issues. Lalida also draws on mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas to help reduce self-criticism and manage intense emotions.
Lalida is based in the United Kingdom and offers work in English and Thai. She describes therapy as a collaborative journey and invites people to start by sharing what matters most to them.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online counselling
Many of the techniques Lalida uses can be adapted to remote work. Cognitive-behavioural ideas focus on spotting patterns of thinking and trying small behaviour changes; this helps with panic attacks, anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness-based practices teach short, practical exercises to calm the body and attention, which can reduce the intensity of panic symptoms. Compassion-focused ideas encourage kinder self-talk and reduce guilt and shame that often accompany trauma and relationship pain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lalida will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. She emphasises listening first and adjusting methods as progress is made, so the plan can change over time.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people access support in their own language, such as English or Thai, and make it simpler to continue therapy when circumstances change.
