About Poppy Streatfield

Poppy Streatfield is a UK-based therapist who works online from North London, bringing seven years of clinical experience to her client-centered practice. She aims to create a warm, accepting and open environment where individuals and young people can explore stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT issues, parenting and a broad range of other difficulties. Drawing on an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tailored for autism spectrum conditions and learning difficulties, a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and certificates in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, she blends approaches to match each person’s needs and the time available.

Poppy is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she adapts therapy to be more accessible for people with additional needs such as Autism and ADHD. She offers one-to-one short and long-term counselling on a weekly basis and has experience working across educational, community and NHS settings as well as in private practice. She does not work with high-risk clients; if it becomes clear that someone is at risk to themselves, she will advise they seek more comprehensive support via their GP.

Her online working hours are Monday and Thursday 5pm to 9pm and Saturday 8am to 12pm, and she responds to messages sent via the platform only during these times. Messaging is limited to practical enquiries so that therapeutic work can be explored within sessions. She is not currently accepting new clients.

How Poppy applies therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist reflects and supports the client’s self-directed growth. This approach suits people seeking a compassionate, exploratory setting for issues such as self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, problem-focused method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic and specific phobias, and it works well when clients want structured tools and clear goals.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation, self-harm urges or intense relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Poppy Streatfield collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques and pace as required.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from home or other comfortable settings. These options allow for continuity of care and multiple ways to communicate, so therapy can proceed in the format that best supports each individual.
