About Poppy
Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She uses a mix of therapy styles to suit each person and aims to make sessions practical and collaborative. Poppy holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and NCPS, indicating accreditation with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. She has three years' experience in the field.
Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and building simple tools to cope day to day. She makes space for people to talk through trauma, grief, relationship worries and issues around identity and sexuality. Codependency, parenting strain and caring responsibilities are also included in her work.
Poppy draws on a blend of methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas. That means she may use practical skills, values-based work and attention to relationship patterns in therapy. The style aims to be down-to-earth and goal-focused while also allowing time to process feelings.
People who prefer a collaborative counsellor tend to do well with her. She supports those wanting clear strategies alongside deeper reflection. The pace is adapted to each person's needs and readiness for change.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action towards them. It mixes practical exercises with simple mindfulness skills to reduce avoidance and build a meaningful routine, which can suit issues like anxiety or low motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday life. It often uses homework, behavioural experiments and straightforward techniques to reduce symptoms of depression or worry.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness. This can help people who notice repeating relationship problems, codependency or difficulty trusting others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they choose whether to lean more on skills, values work or relationship-focused exploration so sessions match the individual's needs.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins on difficult days, and reduce travel time. They also support steady work on techniques like ACT and CBT where regular practice between sessions is helpful.
