Milo Nass - Pink Penguin Counselling

Experience and approach:

My Approach

 

 

 

I don’t believe that “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to counselling. Everyone is different, which is why I adapt my way of working to suit each client’s needs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At my core, I am person-centred, which means that I believe you know yourself best, and my role is to support you by providing a safe space where you can explore whatever feels important to you, free from judgment and at your own pace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I believe it is important to find a counsellor who feels right for you. I see counselling as a collaborative process, where our relationship plays a key role in the work we do together. Relationships shape so much of our lives, and I strive to build a connection that feels genuine and meaningful with each of my clients. Trust is essential, so I will always be honest and open with you, and I won’t shy away from addressing anything that comes up between us. While I believe that challenges can be helpful, I offer them gently and welcome you to challenge me in return.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When helpful, I may also draw from other approaches, such as psychodynamic or creative techniques, to explore your thoughts and feelings from different angles.

 

 

 

My Experience

 

 

 

I have experience working with individuals from a range of backgrounds, including those who are neurodivergent or whose gender, sexuality or relationship styles don’t fit the mainstream (LGBTQ+, enm/poly, kink, etc.). My own lived experience allows me to connect on a more personal level and I approach these topics with sensitivity and empathy.

 

 

 

I understand that while people may share similar identities or experiences, underneath our experiences are all unique. I want to understand what it’s like to be you and am committed to creating a validation environment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When working with neurodivergence (e.g. autistic, ADHD, bipolar or otherwise) I strive to make my sessions accessible and am adapting the way I work to my clients needs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More generally, I have worked with clients facing anxiety, depression, issues around identity, relationship and family issues, workplace struggles, trauma, abuse and suicidal thoughts and a range of other concerns.
