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.

I am an integrative practitioner, drawing from the strengths and techniques of different therapies to suit your specific needs. My long career in mental health and neurodiversity services informs a practice grounded in empathy, non-judgment, and collaboration. Together we will make sense of your experiences, deepen your self-connection, and begin practical movement towards your desired future. I work across a broad range of experiences and hold particular expertise with anxiety/burnout, low mood, processing shame, exploring relationships (including abuse) and rebuilding from adversity. As a neurodivergent mixed-race counsellor from a working-class background, I also welcome clients seeking to explore their own intersectionality.

I’m Lucy, a counsellor offering online counselling, and specialise in working with Transgender and LGBTQ clients.

I work online nationally, offering a calm and confidential environment where you can feel seen and heard in your wholeness.

My name is Kristýna Hallam (she/her). I offer online individual systemic and DBT psychotherapy. Are you looking to change self-destructive habits? Be kinder to yourself? Do you want to understand why certain thoughts are bothering you? I have experience working with neurodivergent clients, people who deal with anxiety, depression, self-harm or have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I offer a safe space to talk about all of this for anyone. I understand that exploring your sexuality and/or gender can come with anxiety and negative thoughts inside your head, but also in social situations and with your close ones.
