Poppy Perrin

Poppy Perrin is a counsellor with three years' experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She draws on several therapy models to shape sessions around each person's needs. Poppy aims for therapy that feels collaborative and practical, with time for exploring feelings and building everyday tools.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly and make sense of what’s happening. Conversations are paced to suit the individual, and the work typically balances understanding with hands-on strategies. That might include short exercises to try between sessions or ways to notice and change thought patterns.

Poppy uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These approaches inform choices about what to focus on, whether that is coping with grief, managing anger, or improving sleep and eating patterns. She adapts methods to fit the person rather than following a fixed formula.

Her background includes work with people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, addictions and relationship difficulties. Poppy also supports those dealing with parenting stress, career change and neurodiversity concerns such as ADHD. She holds BACP registration as a member and is an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

Therapy is offered in English and is based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the usual process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they can help online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, asks people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small practical steps to live a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, low mood and issues like anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses clear exercises to shift patterns that cause distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant to day-to-day needs.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between other commitments. It can also let people use shorter exercises without needing to be on camera for the whole time. Registered or accredited professionals like this counsellor can adapt tools and homework to suit online appointments and practical routines.
