About Poppy
Poppy Streatfield is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years' experience, working online from the United Kingdom. She sees people for weekly short- or long-term counselling and helps with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, anger and parenting. She also supports people navigating ADHD, autism, eating concerns and sexual assault or abuse.
Poppy draws on several brief and longer approaches to suit each person’s needs. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what each person brings, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work when these fit the issue and timeframe.
Sessions are designed to be practical and straightforward. Poppy prefers to keep therapeutic conversations to session time and limits messaging to practical queries within her working hours. She asks people to discuss risks with their GP if a higher level of care is needed, because she does not work with high-risk clients.
She has worked in education, community and NHS settings and also runs a private practice alongside this work. Her training includes an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and a postgraduate diploma in CBT for people with autism spectrum conditions and learning difficulties.
Poppy is experienced in making adjustments for people with additional needs such as autism and ADHD. She will discuss any reasonable adjustments to sessions to help them feel more accessible and useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Poppy commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what the client brings and lets the session follow their priorities, which helps when people need space to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical ways to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Poppy will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and can change as your work progresses.
Please confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, they can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks, or avoid the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools like CBT worksheets and DBT skills for remote use to keep sessions practical and focused.
