Who I am
Who I am
Choosing a counsellor is like choosing another human being to connect with, someone with whom you can truly 'gel' with.
So, hi! I’m Lalida.
I thoroughly enjoy my role as a counsellor. It's an absolute privilege to stand by my clients, listen to their truths, and witness their paths unfold. Without a doubt, there's no other profession I'd prefer, and I consider myself truly fortunate and appreciative to have discovered my calling.
I am an integrative trauma counsellor (MBACP) providing trauma-informed and culturally sensitive therapy. I offer a compassionate, professional space where you don’t have to "just get on with it." Whether you are looking for mental health support in Surrey or further afield, we work together to understand your story and find a path to peace.
I offer remote therapy across the UK and worldwide, and in-person sessions in Godalming, Surrey.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training, qualifications & experience
My journey in the mental health field began in 2010 when I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Counselling in Education. This long-standing interest in human behaviour led me to further specialise by gaining an MSc (Level 7) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Derby. This accredited training and Level 7 qualification enable me to master diverse integrative therapeutic models and tailor my approach to each individual. I am fully accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
A significant part of my practice has been dedicated to trauma recovery. Beyond my work in the NHS, high-pressure frontline services, and specialist charities, where I have supported hundreds of adults navigating the aftermath of sexual violence and domestic abuse.
I integrate advanced trauma-focused techniques with genuine compassion. My practice is bilingual, offering professional support in both English and Thai.
For Those Between Worlds...
For Those Between Worlds...
Giving an immigrant myself, I bring a part of Thailand with me into the room. Having moved between cultures, I understand what it’s like to feel between worlds, to navigate different expectations, languages, and identities.
Being so far from home and “looking different” isn’t easy. The way we experience the culture, the world could be different. I understand how it’s like. That’s why I’m here to give this safe space for you.
If you’ve ever felt you don’t quite “fit,” I offer a space where your full self is welcome.
"We'll uncover your true self, working towards a deeper understanding of your unique journey,
and overcoming any difficulties, together."
