About Poppy
Poppy Goguelin is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and depression. Poppy listens with warmth and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people who are unsure where to start.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people managing career changes, ADHD-related struggles and significant life transitions.
How Poppy works
Additional areas of focus include blended family issues, body image, codependency and communication problems. Poppy offers a client-centred approach that starts from each person’s experience. She uses mindfulness to help people notice patterns of thought and feeling, and she can adopt a solution-focused plan when clients prefer concrete goals.
Sessions are built around what an individual wants to achieve rather than fitting them to a fixed model. Her style is warm and friendly, with an emphasis on listening and understanding someone’s world view. She will tailor the way she works if a person wants shorter-term focused work or a more open-ended exploration.
People often come for help with fertility worries, fatherhood issues, divorce or separation and the effects of domestic violence. Practical matters such as how to start are kept simple. If someone chooses to begin, Poppy helps them map out small steps and plans that feel achievable.
She aims to support people toward a happier, more satisfying life.

How Poppy’s approaches work online
Poppy uses a client-centred way of working which means conversations focus on the person’s own experience and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of feelings and choices.She also brings mindfulness into sessions to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and repetitive patterns that make daily life harder.
When a person prefers clear steps, Poppy can use solution-focused techniques to set goals and try small experiments between sessions. This can suit people wanting practical changes in areas such as communication, parenting or coping with life transitions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on a way of working together. This means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when a low-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into a busy day and suit people who prefer writing their thoughts. Registered or accredited professionals are available through these formats, so therapy can fit around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
