About May
May Ann Dulnuan is an ACA counsellor with five years of hands-on experience helping adults navigate stressful and painful life moments. She offers a calm, listening approach and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow.
May Ann uses person-centred listening so clients feel heard. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with adults facing substance use and complex trauma. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress and workplace strain.
May Ann uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can mean acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action, attachment-informed work to address early relationship patterns, or practical skills from dialectical behaviour therapy for intense emotions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
She works in English and provides care in Australia. May Ann encourages people to bring what matters most to the room. The focus is on clearer choices, small changes that add up, and building coping skills that fit everyday life.
How online therapy matches different approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It focuses on small values-based actions so anxiety and avoidance have less control. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses clear, structured exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try ideas together to see what fits. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that suits each person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video lets people read facial cues and practise skills in real time. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress or doing quick homework between meetings. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
