Counselling and Holistic Therapy allied with LGBTQ+ folks, sex workers, neurodivergent people, disabled/differently abled people, and people of culture. 

I’m a Psychologist providing therapy sessions that are tailored according to your individual needs. I specialise in ADHD and autism, particularly supporting clients who had a late diagnosis in their 20s, 30s or 40s, and clients who don’t have a diagnosis but they are thinking about signs of neurodivergence in their family. I provide therapy and coaching sessions using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, person-centred counselling and Compassion Focused Therapy. I see clients with a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, panic, stress, low self-esteem, anger, OCD, trauma, PTSD, workplace conflict, addictions, chronic fatigue, chronic pain and medically unexplained symptoms.

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. 

SESSIONS AVAILABLE FOR NEW CLIENTS: Hi. I offer counselling and psychotherapy in online sessions, with availability from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm, on weekdays. I’m atypical as a person, autistic and ADHD-er. I am BDSM and Kink knowledgeable. Diverse relationship arrangements and lifestyle choices are understood as natural human ways of living.  I’ve been a therapist for almost 25 years – I specialise in providing effective therapy and coaching for neurodivergent adults, and I train other therapists to do this, too.

I specialise in working with people from various backgrounds who are struggling with anxiety or depression. Much of my work involves exploring relationship issues, self-esteem, or the competing pressures of work and home. I know how hard it can be to open up, and I offer a space where you don’t have to put on a front. As a gay man, I understand how identity and minority stress can affect self-worth and mental health. I work integratively, tailoring my approach to suit your needs as therapy develops.

I can help with sex problems (including erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sex addiction / sexual compulsions, and problematic pornography use / porn addiction), trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, adjusting to a physical health condition, relationship issues, stress, sexuality, men’s issues, lgbtq+ counselling and more.

My name is Matthew, I am a qualified integrative therapist working in-person in Hampstead, and online across the UK. My professional journey began in 2009 through completion of a certificate course in counselling skills and I have since graduated from a BSc (Hons) in Counselling, a degree accredited by the BACP where I am also a registered member.  My dissertation project was about the psychotherapeutic experiences of men engaged in chemsex, an area of particular interest to me.  I also have interest in the relationship between sexuality and religion, an area I hold developmental training for.

As a queer therapist who is involved in non-monogamous and kink spaces, I can help you explore these parts of your life in a safe and non-judgmental place. I understand and appreciate the struggles (and joys!) of queerness, polyamory and kink. I am committed to creating a safe a nurturing environment for my clients. I also understand that choosing the right counsellor can be difficult, so it’s important to make sure you feel comfortable and like we would work well together. That’s why, if you decide we’re not a good fit, you don’t have to pay for the first session.
