Poppy Perrin, BACP, NCPS

Poppy Perrin is a counsellor who combines several approaches to tailor therapy to each person. She draws on practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on finding useful tools that fit everyday life.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about trauma, loss, relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions also cover issues such as coping with life changes, addiction, grief and compassion fatigue. Poppy aims to help clients better understand their thoughts and feelings and to build small, lasting changes.

Poppy uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed model. She brings techniques from cognitive behavioural work alongside acceptance-focused and attachment-informed ideas. This flexible method helps shape practical steps and emotional understanding depending on what someone needs.

Her background includes three years of clinical experience and membership of professional bodies: British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP, and National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, listed as NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred). These are recorded as supplied.

Poppy works with adults on matters such as parenting strain, career crossroads, body image, ADHD and chronic health worries. She aims to move at a pace that feels right, offering supportive coaching alongside therapeutic work to build confidence and clearer choices.

Approaches that can guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice their thoughts and values, then take small steps toward a life that matters to them rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to increase emotional understanding and connection within one's relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This often means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Details about session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily commitments and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for using audio rather than video when lower bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools used in therapy to an online setting so the practical elements of ACT and CBT remain usable in remote sessions.
