About Poppy
Poppy Goguelin is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working with adult clients. She focuses on concerns commonly found at home and in relationships, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, family problems and issues around intimacy and trauma. Poppy also notes interest in perinatal mental health and pregnancy loss, and she accepts international clients.
Poppy uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's perspective central. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the individual and building from there. She says she can also work in a more solution-focused way when people want clear goals and short-term steps.
Her work often covers relationship tensions, communication problems and blended family challenges. She mentions fatherhood issues, fertility and the effects of domestic violence among the matters she addresses. Poppy lists support for coping with life changes and for difficulties such as anger, low self-esteem and body image.
In practice she aims to be direct and practical. Conversations will usually look at what is happening now, what people want to change, and small steps to try between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are used at times to help with stress and grounding.
People considering sessions are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Payment works through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. If a reader needs confirmation of current session options they should check before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Poppy works with a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's own view of their problems. This means the first conversations are about what matters most to the person and where they want change. It suits people who need someone to listen and reflect back what they are experiencing.She also uses solution-focused methods when clients prefer clearer goals and short-term steps. This approach concentrates on practical changes and experiments to try between appointments. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, grounding and managing strong emotions through simple exercises and attention training.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Poppy will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest whether a person-centred, solution-focused or mindfulness element seems most useful. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it remains a shared decision.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins that suit a shorter break. They can also be adapted so exercises and mindfulness practices fit into everyday routines.
