About May
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations aim to identify what feels hardest right now and to find small, manageable changes. May prioritises building a trusting working relationship so people can try new ways of relating and coping outside sessions.
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, caregiver stress and communication problems. She also addresses guilt, shame and questions about sexuality in a non-judgemental way. For people with neurodivergent traits she offers support tailored to how those traits affect daily life and relationships.
May draws on person-centred counselling and brings in other methods such as cognitive behavioural approaches when useful. That mix lets her balance listening with practical strategies for anxiety, panic and low mood. She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person needs.
Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or move to monthly check-ins when helpful. May aims to help people feel steadier, manage overwhelming moments, and find clearer ways to communicate with others.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
May combines a person-centred counselling style with cognitive behavioural ideas. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for low mood, relationship concerns and building self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offer practical tools to reduce anxiety and manage panic attacks.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. May will discuss goals, try different strategies and adjust the plan over time. Together the client and counsellor decide which techniques feel most helpful and relevant to everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from a distance while phone sessions can be a simpler option if bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to speak aloud. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while still allowing a continuous therapeutic relationship with a registered or accredited professional.
