About Poppy
Poppy Streatfield is a counsellor with seven years' experience working online from North London. She holds a BACP accreditation, a MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. Poppy offers one-to-one short and long-term counselling on a weekly basis and aims to make sessions warm, accepting and straightforward.
She adapts her approach to each person. That means she draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy, solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as the issues you want to talk through in the room.
Poppy has worked in education, community and NHS settings and now combines private practice with work in the education sector. She has specific training to adapt therapy for people with Autism and ADHD and can discuss reasonable adjustments to how sessions run.
She is experienced supporting people through anxiety, panic attacks and panic disorder, as well as stress, trauma, grief and mood difficulties. Poppy also works with concerns around relationships, sexuality, eating and body image, and a range of other life challenges.
Her working hours are listed on her profile and she responds to messages on the platform during those times. Messaging is kept for practical enquiries and most therapeutic work happens in the sessions themselves.
How Poppy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Poppy uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core parts of her practice. Client-centred work means the conversation follows your concerns and pace, with the counsellor reflecting what you say and helping you feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers simple exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety and panic.She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy where helpful, which provides practical coping skills for managing strong emotions and distress. These methods can be especially useful for panic, overwhelm and emotional regulation. Finding the right mix is collaborative - Poppy will discuss options and shape the plan with you based on your goals and preferences.
The biography confirms she works online but does not detail specific session formats, so please check the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work and family life, reduce travel time and allow a steady pace of weekly meetings. Many people find it simpler to try short practical tools between meetings when sessions are scheduled at a regular time.
