About Poppy
Poppy Streatfield is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has seven years of experience offering one-to-one sessions from North London. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and social anxiety and phobia. Poppy uses weekly short or long-term counselling and adapts her approach to each person.
Poppy draws on several approaches rather than one fixed method. She uses client-centred work to focus on what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps when thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on the issue and time available.
She has a MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and a postgraduate diploma in CBT for people with autism spectrum conditions and learning difficulties. She also holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and certificates in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Poppy has worked in education, community settings and within the NHS environment, as well as running a private practice. She aims to adapt sessions for people with additional needs such as Autism and ADHD and is willing to discuss adjustments to how sessions run.
Initial contact is via the platform where a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to begin the work. Practical messaging is limited to her stated working hours and she prefers to explore therapeutic matters during sessions.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s concerns at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening and understanding. Online sessions using this approach allow the counsellor to follow what matters most to the client and adapt pacing and support to individual needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and problem-focused. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then tries small changes to test what works. Delivered online, CBT can include homework, short skills practice and focused check-ins between sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. When used in brief online work, DBT skills can be introduced in short, manageable steps and practised between meetings. Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and how they like to work, then suggest which methods to try. That choice can change as progress is made. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The profile notes that initial contact and scheduling happen via the platform and that messaging is limited to practical enquiries during set working hours. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a weeknight or a work break, allow shorter focused check-ins, and reduce travel time, all of which help people keep regular appointments.Areas of expertise
