About Poppy

Poppy Perrin helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and related issues using an integrative approach that draws on several therapy models. She describes her work as collaborative and practical, focusing on talking through problems and developing tools to cope. Poppy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has three years of experience in the field.

Her background combines methods from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work and client-centred practice. Sessions aim to identify patterns that contribute to distress and to test small changes that make day-to-day life easier. This can include rewriting unhelpful thoughts, learning practical skills for emotional regulation, or noticing relational patterns that repeat.

Poppy often includes techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy when emotion regulation is needed and uses acceptance-based strategies to help people live with difficult feelings without increasing avoidance. She also pays attention to attachment issues and how relationships shape current reactions and expectations.

The therapist offers conversation that balances listening with active strategies. She may set simple tasks between meetings and use exercises in session to practise new ways of responding. The emphasis is on building confidence and clearer decision making over time.

Poppy works with a broad range of themes including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, parenting pressures, career stress, body image and intimacy-related concerns. People looking for practical, collaborative counselling that uses a mix of approaches will find her style straightforward and focused on real-life changes.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Poppy commonly works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values, then taking small steps that match what matters most; it can help with anxiety, low mood and long-term avoidance. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours; it is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That plan can combine elements from different methods so sessions remain practical and goal-focused while also allowing time to reflect.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists described here, often adapt exercises for remote sessions so practical skills and behavioural tasks can still be practised between meetings.
