May Ann Dulnuan , ACA

May Ann Dulnuan is an ACA counsellor with five years' experience supporting adults through difficult life moments. She prioritises a warm, accepting space where people can talk, reflect and work toward clearer goals. Her approach aims to help clients feel heard and find practical ways to cope day to day.

She often works with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps people facing addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges related to parenting, career and self-esteem. May Ann supports clients exploring LGBT issues, bipolar and ADHD-related concerns as part of a broader care plan.

Her practice uses a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with thinking and behaviour patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based change. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. May Ann helps people set small, achievable steps and build skills like emotion regulation and clearer communication. She adapts the pace to each person and checks in on what is or isn't working.

She developed skills working with substance use and complex trauma and continues professional development alongside supervision. Sessions are offered in English to people in Australia. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes by shifting attention from avoidance to meaningful action.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replaces them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems to build concrete coping skills.

Attachment-based work explores how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses. It can help with intimacy issues, codependency and communication problems by increasing awareness of relational habits.

Finding the most useful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then work with the client to try one or more approaches and adjust over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video suits in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when an on-camera session isn’t needed. Live chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or when written communication is preferred. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or daily routines and to keep momentum between sessions.
