Poppy Streatfield

Poppy Streatfield is a therapist practising online from North London. She holds a BACP accreditation and has seven years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. Sessions are offered one to one and can be short or long term depending on what someone needs. Poppy aims to build a warm, accepting atmosphere where people can talk openly about what matters to them.

Poppy uses different methods rather than one fixed style. She adapts her approach to fit each person's situation and the time available. This means she might focus on practical changes, emotional understanding, or skills for coping depending on the moment.

Her background includes a MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. She also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions and Learning Difficulties and has certificates in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

Poppy has worked in education, community and NHS settings. She now runs a private practice alongside work in the education sector. That experience has shaped a flexible way of working that aims to meet practical needs as well as emotional ones.

She is able to make adjustments for people with additional needs such as Autism and ADHD and can discuss how to make sessions more accessible. If it becomes clear someone needs more urgent support, she asks them to seek further help through their GP.

How Poppy’s approaches work in online therapy

Poppy draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to shape online work. CBT involves looking at thought patterns and behaviours and trying small, practical changes to reduce distress. It can help with anxiety, panic, obsessions and mood concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, building trust and helping people find their own solutions through supportive, non-judgemental conversation.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Poppy will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She adapts plans over time and checks in to make sure the work still feels useful and manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around everyday life, avoiding travel time and making it easier to attend from different locations. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or quieter sessions when that helps concentration.
