About Poppy

Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who draws on several therapeutic models to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and related concerns. She uses practical tools alongside conversation to build confidence and improve day-to-day coping. Poppy presents herself as collaborative and supportive, aiming to make sessions feel manageable for people under strain.

With three years of experience, she blends approaches rather than relying on a single method. That means sessions can include practical strategies for emotion regulation, ways to rethink unhelpful thoughts, and discussions about values and goals. The work is tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script.

Poppy aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns and identity issues including LGBT matters. She also supports those coping with life changes such as separation, career shifts, parenting strains, or the aftermath of disasters and emergencies.

She notes additional focus on areas like attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic health conditions, body image and ageing concerns. This variety means sessions can address practical problems such as sleeping or eating difficulties, as well as longer standing patterns like codependency or control issues.

Poppy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown as NCPS. She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with her.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It often uses exercises to clarify priorities and practical actions to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces simple strategies to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. That can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and work with each person to decide what feels most useful. That choice is guided by presenting difficulties, goals and personal preference, so sessions can change as needs evolve.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to continue therapy after a life disruption or when access to local services is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best match a person's goals during the initial matching step.
