Poppy Goguelin, BACP

Poppy Goguelin is a counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member, and brings a warm, person-centred manner to sessions. Poppy aims to listen to each person's experience and offer practical support for everyday struggles.

Poppy focuses on problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people dealing with relationship strains, grief and loss, and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse. Parenting concerns, fertility and fatherhood issues are within her scope, alongside challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is flexible. She uses client-centred ways of working to prioritise a person's own perspective. Mindfulness techniques appear in sessions to help calm the mind and build present-moment awareness. She can also offer solution-focused planning when someone prefers clear short-term goals.

Sessions are intended to be warm and friendly, with an emphasis on practical steps and understanding. Poppy listens for what matters most to each person and shapes the work around those priorities. She can tailor conversations to suit people who want exploration or who want goal-oriented support.

People often come to her for help with communication problems, blended family difficulties, codependency and issues arising from separation or infidelity. She also supports those coping with body image concerns, anger, guilt and the life changes that follow major events. The aim is to help people move towards a more manageable and fulfilling day-to-day life.

How Poppy's approaches fit online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and following their lead. It helps when someone needs acceptance, a clearer sense of their own choices, or space to talk things through without pressure.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations. These methods can reduce overwhelming feelings and help with anxiety, stress and improving focus in daily life.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims at setting small, practical goals and building steps towards them. It suits people who prefer structured sessions and measurable progress over a short timescale.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Poppy will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the way she works to match each person's goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions offer practical benefits such as easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and options for different contact styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in, live chat suits shorter updates, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going when life is busy or when travelling is difficult.
