Poppy Goguelin is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through stressful and painful times. She focuses on everyday struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also offers help for parenting challenges, career worries and life changes, including pregnancy and pregnancy loss.

Poppy aims to make sessions warm and approachable. She listens from the client’s perspective and works at a pace that feels comfortable. Short-term goal work is available when people prefer a more practical, solution-focused route.

Background and approach

Her practice includes support for trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with family and blended family difficulties, communication problems and the fallout of separation. Fertility issues, fatherhood concerns and body image are among other areas she addresses.

Sessions are described as friendly and person-centred, with an emphasis on understanding each individual’s world. Poppy adapts her approach to match what a person needs, whether that is reflective space or clear steps to try between meetings. People can expect a straightforward, calm style and help to build coping strategies for daily life.

Poppy encourages small, achievable changes and supports clients as they work toward clearer goals and improved wellbeing.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The counsellor offers empathetic responses and helps people find their own solutions, which is useful for low mood, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce stress and manage difficult emotions. It can help with anxiety, intrusive thoughts and coping with life changes by encouraging steadier attention and calmer responses.

Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and practical. It concentrates on small, achievable steps and is helpful when someone wants short-term work to resolve specific problems like communication issues or parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss aims, try different ways of working and agree a plan based on what suits the client's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel helpful and realistic.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel commitments and to use the format that feels most comfortable.
