Poppy GoguelinBACP

Poppy Goguelin is a person-centred counsellor with five years of practice focused on women’s health and perinatal wellbeing. She works with people around pregnancy and the first year after birth and listens for what matters to each person. Sessions are described as warm and friendly, with an emphasis on understanding life from the client’s point of view.

Her practical focus covers anxiety, depression, grief and loss, including pregnancy loss. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties and experiences of domestic violence and abuse. Other areas she sees include stress, parenting concerns, family problems and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Poppy uses approaches that aim to meet the client where they are. Client-Centred Therapy shapes a supportive space where the client’s goals guide the work. Solution-Focused Therapy can be used to set short-term goals and try practical steps between sessions.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and manage strong feelings and unhelpful thought patterns. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, sleep disruption and coping with life changes. Poppy will adapt the way she works to what each person finds most helpful.

Poppy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People from outside the UK can be seen; confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering an accepting, non-judgemental space where the client’s priorities steer the conversation. Online sessions can reproduce that tone by allowing clients to bring their own concerns and set the pace. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing exercises that can be practised in short moments during the day; online sessions often include guided exercises and simple homework to try between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and tracking progress. Working online can make it easy to review goals, record short actions and follow up on what changed between meetings. Poppy works collaboratively, helping clients decide which approach or mix of approaches feels right for their needs and goals rather than imposing one method.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity when life or location changes, while the therapist and client agree practical arrangements together.
