Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Poppy uses client-centred counselling to place the client's own perspective at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what matters to the person, which can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem and life changes.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay grounded. Mindfulness exercises can be short and practical, and are often useful for anxiety, anger and coping with difficult emotions.

Solution-focused work appears when clients want clear, achievable goals. This method breaks problems into small steps and tracks progress, which can suit people looking for practical change after events like separation or major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through needs, goals and preferences and then adapt the balance of listening, mindfulness and goal work to fit the person.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and everyday life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It also allows people to continue care when living in different locations, including international settings.
