About Poppy

Poppy Perrin is a BACP Therapist (Registered Member MBACP) and an NCPS Therapist (Accredited Member MNCPS Accred) with three years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship and family concerns and other life changes.

Her approach mixes several recognised therapies so sessions are practical and focused. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred ideas among others. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to the person and build straightforward tools to manage difficult moments.

Sessions are described as collaborative. The counsellor and client set goals together and try techniques that fit everyday life. This can include skills for managing worry, tracking patterns that keep problems going, or working on how to talk about needs and boundaries.

Poppy lists additional areas she pays attention to, including blended family issues, attachment concerns, addiction, caregiving stress, chronic illness and parenting pressures. She also works with intimacy, grief and career-related distress. These are areas she can address in individual sessions rather than as diagnostic services.

Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns and decide what matters most to them. It uses simple exercises to build willingness to act in line with personal values even when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience so they can find their own solutions and make choices that suit them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and pick methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. That selection is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. They can shorten travel time, allow a brief check-in during a work break, or remove the need to be at a specific location. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical arrangements so sessions work alongside daily routines.
