Background and approach

May draws on emotionally-focused ideas to address intimacy and attachment concerns. She helps people identify emotional patterns and learn different ways to connect with themselves and others. That approach can be useful for relationship problems, post-traumatic stress, and issues tied to self-esteem.

Over eight years she has supported people through many life changes, including bereavement, separation, career shifts and end-of-life planning. She also addresses concerns such as body image, hoarding, guilt, forgiveness and communication problems. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Costs vary with location and therapist availability and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them. May does not work on Sundays and focuses on helping people take practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

How May uses client-centred and emotionally-focused work online

May draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s own experience. That approach means listening closely, reflecting back what is said and helping people find their own solutions. It works well for anxiety, stress and self-esteem issues.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise patterns in how they respond to strong feelings. EFT-style work looks at emotional cycles and teaches new ways of relating to oneself and to others, which can help with relationship concerns and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods as the relationship develops. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging helps maintain progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while accessing experienced therapists and registered or accredited professionals.
