She focuses on the person in front of her and offers warm, straightforward sessions that aim to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns.

Background and approach
She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and sexual difficulties. Poppy adapts her approach to the person she meets. She listens with a person-centred attitude and will follow your priorities and perspective.
If you prefer a goal-directed style, she can use solution-focused techniques to shape short-term steps and plans. Mindfulness is also part of her toolkit and is used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. Sessions are described as friendly and practical, with an emphasis on small changes that add up over time.
She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients in English. Poppy aims to create a space where people can talk honestly about difficult experiences and find realistic ways to cope and move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Poppy uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. This means she listens closely, follows the client's priorities and helps them make sense of what they are going through in plain language. It is well suited to people who want a space to be heard and understood.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and emotional reactivity in everyday situations.
Solution-focused work is another option she offers for people who prefer practical, goal-orientated sessions. That approach focuses on identifying small, concrete steps and building on immediate strengths to create forward momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the style as needed. This collaborative process means the method can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to suit different routines. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be a quicker check-in and text messaging works for short updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
