Poppy Goguelin, BACP

Poppy Goguelin is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She focuses on areas such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting and trauma. Her practice also includes work around blended family issues and other family-related concerns.

Poppy frames sessions around the person's own experience. She uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's perspective first. She also offers options that draw on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when those approaches fit the client's goals.

In practical terms she listens for what matters most and helps people clarify small, achievable steps. When someone prefers short-term goal work, she can develop a solution-focused plan. When people want to look at feelings and meaning, the person-centred approach guides the conversation.

She has a specific interest in women's health and perinatal mental health, covering the time from conception through to a year after birth. That interest includes supporting people with pregnancy loss and the emotional aftermath that can follow.

Poppy also works with people affected by domestic violence and relationship problems. She addresses common concerns such as communication difficulties, boundaries, guilt and shame, and confidence after difficult experiences.

Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. The emphasis is on practical coping, clearer next steps, and using mindfulness where it helps reduce stress and reactivity. People looking for help with blended household issues or parenting strain will find her focus reflected in the areas she lists.
