About Poppy

Poppy Streatfield is a counsellor with seven years' experience who works online from the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP accreditation and draws on a small range of therapeutic methods to suit each person. Sessions can be short or long term and are offered on a weekly basis.

Poppy aims to make sessions warm and accepting so people feel able to talk about what matters to them. She trained in person-centred experiential counselling and psychotherapy and has a Master of Arts in that field.

Background and approach

She also completed a postgraduate diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy tailored for people on the autism spectrum and those with learning difficulties. These academic qualifications sit alongside certificates in solution-focused work, dialectical behaviour approaches and motivational interviewing. Poppy has worked in education, community services and NHS settings as well as in independent practice.

This varied background informs how she shapes sessions and practical strategies for everyday life. She explains things plainly and works to adapt sessions for anyone who needs adjustments, for example people with autism or ADHD. In sessions she focuses on what the person wants to change.

That might be stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, low mood, relationship problems, parenting strain, or issues with self-esteem and body image. She also supports people coping with compulsions, panic, phobias, bipolar mood patterns, and difficulties around sexuality and identity. Poppy limits messaging outside session times to practical queries and responds to messages during her stated working hours.

She encourages an initial consultation to discuss reasons for seeking counselling, goals, and whether her way of working feels like a good fit.

How Poppy adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means sessions are built around what the person wants to talk about, with the counsellor offering reflection and support rather than directing every step. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches suit people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and many forms of distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Poppy will discuss options together and try methods that fit the person’s aims and preferences. That collaborative way helps shape short-term goals or a longer plan depending on progress and changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments and to continue therapy from different locations when needed.
