About Poppy

Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who brings three years of practice to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative so clients leave with clear steps to try between meetings.

Poppy places value on a non-judgemental atmosphere where people can speak openly about trauma, grief, relationship concerns and struggles with motivation.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with eating and sleeping difficulties, addiction and compassion fatigue. Work is paced to suit each person rather than pushing a fixed timetable. Her background includes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as MBACP, and accreditation with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown as MNCPS Accred.

These are noted professional affiliations rather than statements about specific training levels. Poppy draws from several therapeutic approaches to shape each course of work. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or helping clients identify personal values and steps towards them.

The aim is to combine understanding with straightforward strategies that fit daily life. People who come to Poppy often want support with identity and LGBT matters, parenting pressures, career choices, or coping with major life changes. She also works with longer term conditions such as bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and caregiving stress when these affect day-to-day wellbeing.

If someone prefers a calm, practical style that balances listening with skill-building, Poppy offers that kind of collaborative approach and support.

Ways of working Poppy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and how these affect current connections; it can help with trust, intimacy and family or parenting worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to test what fits best, adjusting methods to match the client's goals, preferences and day-to-day life. Clients help shape the plan and try different tools to see what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work lets them fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life changes and to practise techniques in daily routines. Registered or accredited professionals, including those with BACP and NCPS listings, can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote meetings and help clients apply new skills between sessions.
