About Poppy
Poppy Perrin works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood or anxiety. She is a BACP Therapist (Registered Member MBACP) and an NCPS Therapist (Accredited Member MNCPS Accred) and brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. Her writing and approach aim to be straightforward and practical for people who may be hesitant about starting therapy.
Poppy uses an integrative style that draws on several well-known therapies. Sessions are collaborative, with space to talk through what is happening now and what feels stuck. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits, and then builds simple strategies to try in day-to-day life.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to explore difficult feelings. The work blends listening with practical exercises and coping tools. Poppy encourages a pace that suits each person and focuses on achievable steps, rather than quick fixes.
She also pays attention to how relationships and attachment shape how people cope. That can help when worries are tied to family roles, caring responsibilities or changes in life circumstances. Her approach is aimed at supporting clearer thinking and steadier routines.
Poppy describes therapy as a team effort. She aims to help people understand themselves more clearly and to build confidence in everyday choices. If someone wants to explore stress, anxiety, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, or changes after loss or trauma, she offers practical support and compassionate listening.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that fit personal values and can help with anxiety, depression and motivational problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing everyday habits that keep problems going. It often involves short exercises and practical strategies for sleep, worry and mood management.
Finding the right approach is often part of the early work in therapy. Poppy will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and comfort level. That choice is made together rather than imposed, and may shift over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they cut travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a break and can suit quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer focused, goal-oriented work online using the approaches described above.
