Poppy Goguelin, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy means Poppy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The work aims to reflect the client’s views and pace the sessions around what matters most to them and can help with issues like low mood, grief and relationship worries.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple breathing and awareness exercises. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm by teaching ways to notice feelings without being swept away by them.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals. It is goal-oriented and helps people try short experiments between sessions to change daily routines or communication patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing written reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical support and progress.
