About Poppy

Poppy Streatfield is a qualified therapist who practices online from North London and provides one-to-one counselling on a weekly basis. Her work is client-focused and professional, emphasising a warm, accepting and open environment where each person’s needs shape the therapeutic plan. She offers both short-term and long-term counselling and adapts her approach to suit the time available and the individual in front of her.

Poppy draws on a range of therapeutic methods rather than relying on a single model, tailoring sessions to what will be most helpful for the person she is working with. She is experienced in working with a wide range of people and in a variety of settings, including educational, community and NHS contexts, and she also runs a private practice alongside her work with the education sector.

Her working hours for responding to messages via the platform are Monday 5pm to 9pm, Thursday 5pm to 9pm and Saturday 8am to 12pm. She limits messaging outside of sessions to practical enquiries and prefers to explore therapeutic concerns during scheduled appointments. Poppy does not work with high-risk clients; if it becomes clear that someone is a risk to themselves she will advise them to contact their GP for more comprehensive support.

Prospective clients can arrange an initial consultation to discuss what has brought them to therapy and their hopes and goals, and to decide whether to commit to ongoing sessions and whether Poppy is the right therapist for them. She is trained to adapt therapy to be more accessible for people with additional needs such as Autism and ADHD and is happy to discuss adjustments to suit individual preferences.

Poppy’s formal training includes an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions and Learning Difficulties, and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. She also holds certificates in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and she holds BACP as a professional credential. She welcomes enquiries and looks forward to hearing from people considering therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the therapist listens carefully and supports the client to explore their own goals and values. This approach is often helpful for building self-understanding, addressing relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured, problem-focused approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is useful for addressing problems such as anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns by teaching practical skills and strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training and a focus on balancing acceptance with change. It concentrates on emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people experiencing intense emotions or repeated patterns that cause difficulty.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Poppy works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she can adapt techniques over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable, and allow therapists to adjust the format to suit communication styles and practical needs.
