About Poppy

Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She has three years of practice and brings a flexible, client-focused approach to sessions. Poppy describes her work as collaborative and practical, aiming to help people develop tools they can use day to day.

Her sessions combine elements from several therapeutic approaches to suit each person's needs. That might mean talking through patterns of thought, trying new ways to manage difficult feelings, or practising small steps towards clearer goals. Poppy emphasizes straightforward strategies as well as space to make sense of painful experiences.

Poppy makes effort to keep the room non-judgemental and calm. She invites clients to be curious about themselves while setting a pace that feels manageable. This includes exploring trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and struggles linked to identity and addiction.

Many people bring practical life concerns such as parenting stress, career worries, chronic health challenges, or problems sleeping. Poppy works with these alongside emotional patterns like attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. She also offers support around eating, bipolar mood shifts, and coping with big life changes.

Poppy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP, and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, MNCPS. Sessions are held in English and she works from the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and for improving motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for sleep problems, low mood and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is made collaboratively and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match what helps you most.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps people stay consistent with sessions during periods of high stress or change. Registered and accredited professionals use different approaches and will adapt the pace and tools to suit your day-to-day routine.
