Poppy Perrin, BACP, NCPS

Poppy Perrin is a counsellor with three years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She works in the United Kingdom and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Poppy aims to make therapy collaborative and straightforward so people can take clear steps forward.

She uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method. That means conversations focus on what a person needs right now, and tools are chosen to match those needs. Sessions include both talking through difficult feelings and practising skills to cope with day-to-day life.

Poppy aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can be honest about their thoughts and struggles. She gently supports people who are dealing with trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD and relationship or parenting stress. Practical suggestions and simple exercises are offered when they will help.

Her work also covers issues such as body image, chronic illness or pain, caregiving stress, career difficulties, and changes like separation or bereavement. The focus is on helping people build clarity and confidence, one step at a time.

Poppy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP, and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown as NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred). She holds these credentials as part of her professional standing in the UK.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in line with their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose techniques together. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone-only sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for quick updates, while other formats can allow more in-depth conversations and practical exercises.
