Poppy Goguelin, BACP

Poppy Goguelin is a BACP counsellor who focuses on women's health and perinatal mental health. She has five years of experience and works with people facing anxiety, depression and pregnancy loss. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aiming to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or tired.

She offers sessions where the client is at the centre of the conversation. Poppy listens to each person's story and tries to understand their world view before suggesting a way forward. If someone prefers a shorter, goal-focused route, she can tailor sessions to be more solution focused.

Poppy helps people with relationship and intimacy concerns, including issues linked to domestic abuse and difficulties after pregnancy. She also supports those dealing with stress, grief and life changes, as well as challenges around self-esteem and body image. Practical coping ideas are offered alongside time to talk about feelings.

Sessions aim to balance present needs and future goals. That can mean working through what feels overwhelming now, or setting small steps to build confidence. Poppy commonly uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice and manage difficult thoughts and emotions.

She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with people internationally. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens deeply and reflects back what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of their experience and decide on next steps. This approach suits people who need understanding and space to explore feelings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions. It can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by offering short techniques to use outside sessions as well as in them.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and small changes. Sessions can concentrate on clear goals and what can be done next, which is useful for people who want targeted progress in a shorter time frame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked before, and together they will try methods that fit the individual's needs. This collaborative process helps shape whether sessions remain exploratory, skills-based, or action oriented.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and childcare, cut travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people who live at a distance or in different countries to access registered or accredited professionals without a commute.
