Sessions & fees
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Poppy uses a client-centred approach which means sessions focus on the person’s priorities. In practice that looks like open listening, reflecting back what matters and following the person’s pace to build understanding. This helps with issues such as relationship strain, low mood and parenting worries.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice and manage strong emotions. Simple practices taught in sessions can help reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. Solution-focused work is used when someone prefers short-term, goal-oriented steps to change, such as improving communication or managing anger.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Poppy will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as the work progresses. Together they decide whether to focus on exploration, skills practice or practical steps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits a full conversational session, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
