About Poppy

Poppy Streatfield is a counsellor practising online from North London with seven years' experience. She holds a BACP registration and brings a calm, open approach to one-to-one therapy. Sessions may be short term or longer, arranged on a weekly basis to suit each person.

Poppy adapts how she works to what each person needs. She draws on different approaches rather than using a single method. That means conversations can be gentle and exploratory or more focused on practical steps, depending on the issue and how much time there is.

Background and approach

Her experience includes work in education, community settings and the NHS, and she also runs a independent practice. That mix informs a practical style that aims to be clear and down to earth. She can discuss reasonable adjustments for people with Autism or ADHD to make sessions more accessible.

Common concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship issues. There is also experience with a wide range of other difficulties such as body image, eating concerns, obsessive thoughts, panic, and self-harm. She is comfortable discussing sexuality and LGBT matters.

Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Messages sent to her are answered during listed working hours and messaging between sessions is kept mainly for practical enquiries. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How Poppy’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for issues like grief, relationship worries and low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses simple exercises and practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving how you cope day to day. It tends to be practical and skills-based, useful when someone struggles with intense mood swings or self-harm urges.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest what might help most. That way sessions can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working well.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want a flexible, in-the-moment option. Registered or accredited professionals can offer all these formats so you can pick what fits your routine and needs.
