About Poppy
Poppy Streatfield is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with seven years' experience. She works online from North London and lists stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression among her areas of practice.
Poppy offers one-to-one counselling on a weekly basis and uses short and longer-term work depending on need. She says there is no single way to work with everyone, so she draws on different approaches to suit the time available and the issues raised.
She trained at MA level in person-centred experiential counselling and psychotherapy and holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. She also has a postgraduate diploma in CBT for people with autism spectrum conditions and learning difficulties, and further certificates in solution-focused work, dialectical behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing.
Poppy has worked in education, community and NHS settings before running a private practice alongside work with the education sector. She is experienced in adapting sessions for people with additional needs such as autism and ADHD and will discuss reasonable adjustments on contact.
Poppy asks that practical enquiries are sent through the platform within her stated working hours. She notes she does not work with high-risk clients and may advise more comprehensive support if risk emerges during work together.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Poppy uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and life events. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical steps to break unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and panic.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Poppy will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with the client. She aims to match methods to a person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring, and she reviews this as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or study, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. They also allow Poppy to discuss adjustments for people with autism or ADHD so sessions can better suit attention, sensory or communication needs.
