About Poppy
Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who draws on several therapeutic models to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She uses a practical, collaborative style so sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her.
Poppy has three years' experience and holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP, and is an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, MNCPS.
Background and approach
Poppy aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions blend conversation with hands-on strategies to help manage day-to-day problems and build confidence. She keeps language simple and uses exercises people can try between meetings.
The approach is tailored. Poppy may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thinking and coping skills. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening guide how she builds trust and understands relationships.
Poppy also helps people with issues such as trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career stress. She lists a wider range of focus areas including caregiving strain, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems. If someone prefers plain explanations and clear tools, Poppy's sessions aim to make therapy practical and doable.

How Poppy works online
She may also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for low mood, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Poppy will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working that fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
The main practical benefit of online therapy is that it can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier. It may reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during busy days, and help people access counselling from different parts of the United Kingdom. Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what formats are supported.
