About Poppy

Poppy Streatfield works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns using a mix of client-centred and structured approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience. Poppy offers one-to-one counselling and adapts her work to individual needs and the time available.

She trained at master's level in person-centred experiential counselling and psychotherapy, and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy for people on the autism spectrum and those with learning difficulties. She also has a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and certificates in solution-focused brief therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing.

Poppy draws on client-centred practice to make sessions collaborative and focused on the person's own experience. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques for thinking and behaviour patterns, and DBT skills where emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help with practical steps and short-term goal setting.

She has worked in educational, community and NHS settings, and in private practice. Poppy has experience supporting people with neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD, and can discuss adjustments to make counselling more accessible. She limits messaging outside sessions to practical enquiries and responds to platform messages during published working hours.

If someone wishes to begin, they can arrange an initial consultation to discuss what they want from counselling and to see if Poppy is the right counsellor for them. She aims to help people decide whether to continue with sessions or explore other options.

How Poppy uses different approaches in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. It aims to understand the individual's perspective and build a collaborative relationship, helpful for exploring feelings and values.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical techniques to test and change thinking patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating strong emotions and tolerating distress. It can be useful when someone needs practical tools for managing intense feelings or impulsive actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree which methods to draw on. This is a collaborative process and can change as the counselling progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and letting people join from quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals often use different methods to suit a person's schedule and needs, and Poppy can discuss practical arrangements when arranging the first appointment.
