About Poppy
Poppy Perrin brings three years of practical counselling experience to her work. She uses a blend of well-known therapy methods to match each person’s needs. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Poppy aims to help people feel understood and build useful skills for day-to-day life. Her work focuses on worries such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, self-esteem, motivation and confidence.
Additional areas include relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to parenting and caregiving.
How Poppy works
Poppy draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She adapts these methods to each person rather than using one fixed style. Sessions combine listening with practical strategies to manage feelings and behaviour.
The room is intended to be non-judgemental and supportive. Poppy works at a pace that feels comfortable and achievable. She encourages people to try small, concrete steps between sessions to build confidence and notice change.
Her professional memberships include BACP - Registered Member (MBACP) and NCPS - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred). Sessions are provided from the United Kingdom and are delivered in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and using online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and feel safe with others. It can help with trust, intimacy-related issues and repeating painful relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that suit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and different issues show up.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, childcare and daily life. It can also allow different ways of working such as shorter check-ins or sessions without video if needed. Registered and accredited professionals use these options to help people access consistent, ongoing support.
