About

About Poppy

Poppy Goguelin is a counsellor who focusses on practical support for everyday struggles. She brings five years of experience and a warm, listening style. She works from the person-centred tradition and offers goal-focused options when wanted.

Poppy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Poppy pays particular attention to parenting concerns and women's health, including perinatal mental health from conception to a year after birth.

Background and approach

She also works with people who have experienced relationship difficulties, domestic abuse, pregnancy loss, grief and trauma. Other areas she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes such as separation and fertility issues. Her approach is straightforward.

Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the client. Poppy then adapts the work to fit the person - staying person-centred or using solution-focused steps where helpful. Mindfulness techniques are offered to support calm, grounding and present-moment awareness when needed.

Poppy aims to make sessions feel warm and approachable. She will help people set simple, realistic goals if that is what they prefer. Practical tips, short exercises and small steps are often used between sessions to build confidence and progress.

People can expect a collaborative and non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings. The therapist encourages reflection on patterns such as communication problems, codependency and control issues, and helps clients consider manageable changes. Her style is patient, steady and focused on what will help day to day.

Online support

How these approaches work online

Poppy uses person-centred work, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to support change. Person-centred work means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. This helps people feel heard and directs the pace and topics of sessions.

Mindfulness offers simple exercises to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. These practices can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting-related overwhelm by teaching small grounding skills to use between sessions. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It is useful when someone wants structured plans and quick, achievable changes for issues like communication problems or coping with life transitions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and try different ways of working to find the best fit for a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist regularly review progress and adjust the plan together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be chosen when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments.
