About Poppy
Poppy Streatfield is a counsellor based in North London who works online. She has seven years' experience and is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She offers one-to-one counselling, and she aims to create a warm, accepting and open space for people to talk about what matters to them.
Sessions can be short term or longer term and are usually weekly. Poppy adapts her approach to each person rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
She draws on different ways of working to suit the issue and the time available. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people with eating and body image issues, parenting and family stresses, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and mood disorders, and coping with life changes.
Additional areas of focus include attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, ADHD, communication problems, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic and phobia, self-harm, sexual assault and domestic violence. She has experience working in education, community and NHS settings as well as running a independent practice. Poppy aims to make sessions accessible for people with additional needs.
If autism or ADHD applies to you she is open to discussing adjustments to how therapy is delivered. To begin, clients use the site process to match and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Poppy works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, panic, low mood and some compulsive behaviours.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and building better ways to relate to others. It is often used where strong mood swings, anger or self-harm require clear coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what seems most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. This can be adjusted over time as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into work or family life, fewer travel commitments and the ability to arrange appointments that suit daily routines. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be run.
