About Poppy
Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who blends practical tools with a collaborative style. She draws on several therapy models to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns and grief. With three years' experience, Poppy aims to make therapy feel down-to-earth and useful. Sessions are framed as a joint effort where the client’s goals guide the work.
Background and approach
She makes space to talk through what feels hard while also introducing strategies to cope day-to-day. Poppy names Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among the methods she draws on. She mixes elements from these approaches to match what each person needs rather than follow a single formula.
Her stated priorities are collaboration, practical techniques and a non-judgemental setting. That means conversations focus on understanding patterns, testing new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings, and trying small changes between sessions. The aim is steady progress at a pace that suits the client.
Poppy is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as MBACP, and an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown as MNCPS Accred. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Online session options
How Poppy’s approaches translate to online work
Poppy draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit everyday concerns. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and find new ways to describe their lives. It can be useful for shifting identity issues, relationship patterns and feelings of stuckness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical actions; it helps when anxiety, low mood or avoidance get in the way of living well.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Poppy treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help decide which methods fit your situation. Together you can try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful for your goals and preferences.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and more flexibility around where and when to meet. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, while others value a fuller video conversation. The exact session options for Poppy are not stated here, so confirm the formats available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make online sessions manageable and relevant to everyday life.
