About Poppy

Poppy Perrin is a BACP Therapist (Registered Member MBACP) and an NCPS Therapist (Accredited Member MNCPS Accred) with three years' experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and motivation. She also works with parenting issues, relationship concerns, and a range of other life difficulties listed on her profile.

Poppy uses an integrative style. She draws on several therapeutic models so the work can suit what a person needs. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Conversations aim to clarify what is happening and to find small, manageable ways to change things.

People can expect time to talk through their concerns and to try tools during sessions. Poppy emphasises developing strategies for everyday life, such as ways to manage difficult thoughts, reduce unhelpful patterns, and cope with strong feelings. She also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that affect family life and parenting.

Her background includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She blends elements from these approaches rather than sticking to one model.

Poppy aims to work at a pace that feels right for each person. Her practical focus means sessions often include straightforward exercises and reflections to use between meetings. To start, readers should confirm current session options and proceed via the site's booking flow.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit with online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then make room for actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress when someone wants clearer direction on what matters to them.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can help with repeating interaction styles that make parenting or close relationships feel difficult, and it supports learning different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the sessions progress.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed on the profile. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals often use these benefits to help sessions sit alongside parenting, work and other commitments.
