About Poppy
Poppy Noy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns and coping with life changes. Poppy also supports people dealing with guilt and shame alongside other difficulties such as substance use, eating concerns and mood problems.
Poppy focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She adapts how she talks and plans sessions to fit each person. Sessions aim to clarify what feels stuck, explore how past events affect the present, and test small changes that can feel manageable day to day.
Her background includes work with people facing loss, postpartum and pregnancy-related issues, and those who struggle with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviours. She has also supported fathers and people working through family conflict and communication problems. That experience informs how she helps people untangle shame and the stories they tell themselves.
Poppy is comfortable discussing sensitive topics such as self-harm, sexuality and control issues. She treats these topics directly and without judgement, focusing on practical ways to reduce distress and increase choice. If you want someone who speaks plainly and plans sessions with clear next steps, Poppy offers that way of working.
To start, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and a first session to agree goals and next steps. Sessions use a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Two evidence-based approaches Poppy commonly draws on are trauma-informed talking work and behavioural strategies. Trauma-informed talking work involves careful conversations about past harm and its present effects, which can help when shame or guilt link back to earlier abuse or loss. Behavioural strategies focus on testing small, practical changes in daily life to reduce anxiety, improve routine, and weaken unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Poppy will work with each person to review what feels most useful, set clear short-term goals, and adjust methods as needed. The process is about trying what helps and changing direction if something does not fit.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that is helpful. Registered and accredited professionals often use these practical advantages to match therapy to everyday life.
