About Poppy
Poppy Noy works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She introduces simple ways to talk about problems and find practical next steps. Her style is calm and respectful, and she aims to make the first session feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Poppy is a BACP counsellor. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and indicates professional registration with that body.
How Poppy works
She has five years of experience supporting people with self-esteem, confidence and motivation concerns. She also helps people facing trauma and abuse, mood difficulties, and obsessive or compulsive patterns. Other areas she covers include pregnancy and childbirth related struggles, postpartum depression, and challenges around sexuality and identity.
Practical everyday issues such as communication problems, control issues, and coping with family stress are also included in her work. Poppy adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than jargon.
She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them at a steady pace. People who prefer talking online can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are intended to be a collaborative process where the person’s goals steer the work forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used online include structured problem-solving and behavioural strategies. These approaches break issues into small, manageable steps and focus on practical changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood and help with compulsive patterns.Another common technique is trauma-informed talking therapy, which helps people process difficult memories at a pace that feels safe. This kind of work aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and teach coping skills for flashbacks, avoidance or intrusive thoughts.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk through what matters most to the person, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust the plan if needed. This collaborative process helps match techniques to goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress.
