About Poppy

Poppy Perrin is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She also holds accredited membership with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years of practice supporting people with stress, anxiety, self esteem and depression.

Poppy uses a blend of recognised approaches so sessions focus on what each person brings. Conversations are collaborative and practical. The emphasis is on talking through current difficulties and trying tools that might help day to day.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and addiction-related concerns. She also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stresses and career-related concerns. Other areas listed include ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and coping with life changes.

The way she explains therapy is simple. Sessions aim to make thoughts and feelings clearer. Practical strategies are introduced alongside talking, and progress is reviewed over time. Poppy stresses a steady pace so people can try things out between sessions.

Poppy practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Costs are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the See online counselling options button.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Poppy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most. It can help when avoidance or unhelpful patterns get in the way of daily life. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Poppy treats this as a collaborative decision. She will discuss aims, try different methods and adjust the plan based on what feels useful for the person and their goals.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that suits someone better. Registered and accredited professionals including counsellors and therapists often find these practical benefits help people keep therapy as part of their routine.
