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. 

I am a UKCP accredited and BACP registered therapist.I work with adults from all walks of life, all genders and all sexual and relationship diversities. Living can be a challenge. If you are seeking to reflect on and clarify the situation you find yourself in, and how you are living your life, it can be helpful to have a therapist alongside you to support you in your exploration.

I’m an HCPC registered counselling psychologist who works integratively and focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to be yourself and explore your struggles. I want to work with you without pathologising your experiences and while considering how the society we live in might affect our mental health experiences, especially for gender, sexuality and relationship diverse individuals.

I’ve spent more than a decade supporting people through traumatic and difficult times, including five years focused on LGBTQ+ mental health and wellbeing. For many years I managed a national LGBTQ+ listening service, specialising in supporting people affected by domestic abuse,  sexual abuse, suicidal feelings, and conversion therapy.

Hi, I’m David. I’m a qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP. Therapy isn’t about fixing you… It’s about giving yourself the space to understand yourself and reconnect with what’s important. Our sense of self can shift, and sometimes we lose touch with parts of ourselves that have been overlooked or silenced. In therapy, we can explore those parts, reconnect with what matters to you, and find ways to live more authentically—even as that authenticity changes over time.

I’m a queer and neuro-diverse therapist with a background in creative fields of performance and fine art. I’m from Ireland and have lived in the UK for a few years so I know what it’s like to come from a country that has been colonised by the one in which I currently live and how that brings a unique perspective on a sense of belonging. I am a curious, empathic and playful human and work with those qualities as a therapist.
