About Poppy Streatfield
Poppy Streatfield is a qualified therapist who provides online counselling from North London. She offers client-focused, professional support in a warm and accepting environment, working one-to-one on both short and long-term goals with weekly sessions. Poppy draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person rather than relying on a single method, recognising that different people and situations need different ways of working.
Her working hours are Monday 5pm to 9pm, Thursday 5pm to 9pm, and Saturday 8am to 12pm. Poppy responds to messages sent via the platform only during these times and keeps messaging limited to practical enquiries, preferring to explore therapeutic material within scheduled sessions.
She does not work with high-risk clients; if it becomes clear that someone is a risk to themselves she will recommend they contact their GP for more comprehensive support. New contacts begin with an initial consultation to discuss what has brought them to therapy and the goals they hope to achieve, and this meeting also helps people decide whether to commit to sessions and whether Poppy is the right fit.
Poppy 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 for individual preferences. Her qualifications include an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy - a master level qualification in person-centred practice - a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focused on individuals with 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 has experience working with adults and young people in educational, community and NHS settings, and currently runs a private practice alongside work with the education sector and ongoing professional development. She looks forward to hearing from prospective clients who wish to explore therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Poppy combines person-centered practice with structured skills-based therapies to support change and coping. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and topics of therapy, which can be helpful for building insight and self-acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Poppy works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as required and discusses adjustments for accessibility, including for people with Autism or ADHD.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available by live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to continue work during transitions, and to receive consistent support without the need to travel, while licensed professionals provide the therapeutic guidance and structure clients need.
