About Poppy
Poppy Perrin is a BACP Registered Member and an NCPS Accredited Member with three years of experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, addictions and related concerns. Poppy also supports those facing grief, relationship strain, parenting stress and challenges around intimacy and body image.
Her way of working draws on several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people name painful emotions and try small, manageable changes between meetings.
Poppy aims for collaborative sessions where clients set priorities and try out techniques that fit their life. She mixes short exercises, reflective conversation and behavioural steps. Expect straightforward explanations and suggestions you can use the same week.
She describes therapy as a place to understand how past patterns shape present feelings and actions. That might include looking at attachment and how it affects close relationships, or practising skills to reduce anxiety and boost confidence. Poppy pays attention to day-to-day routines such as sleep, eating and how stress affects the body.
Practical matters such as costs and session arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Poppy works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name the emotions that drive their behaviour. EFT looks at patterns of feeling and response and can be useful for people who struggle to understand intense emotions or recurring relationship dynamics.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by shifting attention from trying to eliminate feelings to living alongside them.
Attachment-Based ideas appear in her work when exploring how early bonds influence current reactions. This helps people see repeating patterns and experiment with different ways of responding to others and themselves.
Finding the best approach is part of the sessions. Poppy will talk through what feels useful and adapt methods based on a client’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and practical, with check-ins about progress and adjustments over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering a setting where people can be more comfortable with video or audio only. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
