About May
May’s sessions aim to give a steady, respectful space to talk through what is troubling someone right now. She focuses on building a helpful relationship in therapy so clients can learn ways of relating that feel kinder and more effective with others and themselves. Practical conversation and emotional support are mixed in ways that suit each person.
In practice she adapts methods to the person in front of her, drawing on person-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where those approaches fit. This might mean looking at patterns of thinking, trying out new ways of communicating, or pacing trauma-related material carefully when it’s needed. The emphasis is on manageable steps rather than rushing to fix everything.
May has experience supporting people affected by psychosis, addiction, personality difficulties and bipolar, though she does not work with eating disorders or with children. She offers sessions weekly or fortnightly, and some people move to monthly check-ins later on. Session length and overall duration are agreed together.
For parents and carers, May lists caregiver issues and family stress among her focus areas and is used to helping people juggle those strains alongside other parts of life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
May uses person-centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as primary ways of working. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions through a compassionate relationship. It can help when someone feels overwhelmed, lonely or unsure how to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and improve everyday coping.Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss your needs, preferences and goals and then try methods that suit you. Sessions may blend styles so the work stays practical and personalised rather than sticking to a single method.
The profile describes session rhythms such as weekly, fortnightly and occasional monthly check-ins, but does not list specific delivery formats. Please confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break and provide quieter surroundings when those are helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and frequency to match daily routines and caregiving responsibilities, helping therapy sit alongside everyday commitments.
