Welcome. If you’re looking for therapy that meets you where you are—whether you feel lost, overwhelmed, or like you need to change just to belong—you’re not alone. I offer a warm, inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, polycules, and chosen families—including those who are kinky, poly, disabled, neurodivergent, or sex-working. I specialise in trauma, queer shame, child sexual abuse, and anxiety and depression, and offer EMDR. However you arrive, you are welcome here.

Hi, my name is Stephen, (He/Him). I am a person-centred counsellor and have experience of offering counselling to both adults and children. I have a wealth of experience working within addiction both substance based and behavioural, an extensive career working with young adults, children, and teenagers, as well as much personal and professional experience working within the LGBTQI+ community. I also have experience working with a range of issues including, anxiety, depression, stress, and substance misuse issues.

Are you tired of feeling stuck and misunderstood, like you don’t fit, and exhausted by the effort of trying to? Do you feel like your difference – not being like the others – gets in the way of living well, and being authentically you?   Amazing things can unfold when we truly feel seen, heard and accepted for who we are.

I’m Sebastien, a therapist at Soft Focus Therapy, offering trauma-informed, integrative counselling and EMDR for adults in Bristol and online across the UK. You might find yourself caught in patterns you understand… but can’t seem to shift.Overthinking after conversations, feeling “too much” or “not enough” in relationships, or stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. Sometimes it shows up in your body as much as your mind — tension, shutdown, a sense of unease that doesn’t quite make sense, even when things seem “fine” on the surface. I work with people navigating anxiety, relational and identity patterns, early

I’m Milo (they/them), a queer counsellor working online. I started Pink Penguin Counselling for LGBTQ+, kinky, non-monogamous, and neurodivergent people because I know how hard it is to find a space where you can fully be yourself and be met with understanding. With everything going on in the world, having a place where you don’t have to worry about judgment or safety feels more important than ever. I strive to create that safe space where we can explore whatever feels important for you together. 

Life can change in ways that leave you feeling untethered from who you were. Grief, divorce, illness, role changes, or other unexpected transitions can quietly reshape your identity, your relationships, and your sense of direction. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, numb, or not quite like yourself underneath. You may be struggling to function and feel shame about not living up to who you once were. You might wonder whether what you’re experiencing is grief, anxiety, burnout, or something else entirely.

My approach is simple: be honest, be real, and create a space where you can relax enough to explore what’s going on for you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, I’m here to meet you exactly where you’re at.

I am a qualified person-centred therapist and registered member of the BACP. I work with adults in Clapham (SW4) and online, offering a supportive, confidential space to talk openly and at your own pace. I believe therapy should be a space where your full identity is recognised and respected. As a gay and neurodivergent therapist, I bring both personal and professional insight into the complexities of sexuality, gender identity, and neurodiversity. I work affirmatively and inclusively, with curiosity and care for each client’s lived experience.
