About May
May Brown uses a humanistic, person-focused style. She keeps sessions simple and practical. May aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings and daily stresses.
She explains therapy as part of regular self-care rather than a last resort. May has eight years of experience working in mental health settings in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her background includes one-to-one and group work in acute mental health services, focused on anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
She helps people talk through family and relationship problems, grief and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and the emotional impact of discrimination and identity struggles. Practical topics such as communication problems, codependency and blended family issues are part of her work.
May draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centred listening to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and narrative approaches help with emotion regulation and re-authoring difficult life stories.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging for people who cannot attend in person. May describes therapy as an ongoing skill-building process so clients leave with clearer ways to manage stress, anger and life transitions.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the focus so therapy fits the individual's needs rather than forcing a single model.
Online options give practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual contact. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work or busy days. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection and when someone prefers typing to speaking. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions and maintain continuity of care.
