About Poppy
Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She uses a blend of approaches so sessions match what the person needs. Poppy aims to make therapy practical and straightforward, helping clients build confidence and cope better with everyday pressures.
She brings three years of professional experience to her work and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP. She is also an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - MNCPS. These affiliations are part of how she maintains her practice in the United Kingdom.
Poppy describes her style as collaborative and supportive. Sessions are intended to be a calm place to talk, make sense of thoughts and feelings, and try things that might help. She balances listening with offering tools and strategies people can use between meetings.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, from depression, trauma and grief to relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people facing career pressure, caregiving stress, addictions and eating or sleeping difficulties. Clients exploring identity and LGBT topics are included among her areas of focus.
Poppy often adapts techniques from cognitive and acceptance-based therapies, as well as attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working. She encourages clients to set goals at a pace that feels right and to take small steps that add up to meaningful change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Poppy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often useful for stress, anxiety and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Poppy treats this as a collaborative decision, discussing goals and preferences together and trying methods that fit each person's needs. She adjusts the mix of techniques over time so the work remains relevant and manageable.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers options for quieter, less intensive sessions that focus on practical skills and planning. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like Poppy, often use these flexible arrangements to help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, family and other commitments.
