Poppy Perrin
Experienced integrative counsellor for practical change
About Poppy
Poppy Perrin is a counsellor with three years of practical experience. She uses a mix of therapy approaches to match each person’s needs and priorities. Sessions focus on collaboration, practical steps, and building confidence over time.
Poppy aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She sets out to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about what’s on their mind. The work balances listening with clear tools and strategies to help manage stress, anxiety and low mood.
Background and approach
The therapist draws on several evidence-based approaches and tailors them to the situation. That means talking through patterns, learning skills to handle strong feelings, and practising new ways of thinking and acting. Short exercises and reflection are used between sessions when helpful.
Poppy pays attention to how relationships and past experiences affect everyday life. She offers practical help with motivation, self-esteem, coping after loss, and recovery from difficult experiences. The focus is on small, steady changes that add up.
Sessions are intended to feel supportive and paced to suit the person attending. People can expect clear options and collaborative planning about goals and next steps. The aim is to leave sessions with something concrete to try before the next meeting.

Online approaches and how they help
Poppy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working remotely. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for stress, worry and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and how symptoms show up to choose or blend methods. This happens collaboratively, and plans can change as progress is made and needs shift.
Confirm the therapist's available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow follow-up tasks to be discussed between meetings. It can also make short check-ins simpler when time is limited or make it easier to use breathing and grounding exercises together without needing to travel.
