About May
May Pope is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She has three years of practice and holds NCPS as a professional credential. May aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk about what feels hard and start to feel a bit more able to cope.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred way of working. That means conversations follow the client’s concerns while May offers practical tools when they are helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions are geared to everyday life - reducing panic, improving communication, and managing overwhelming feelings. May has a special interest in trauma and abuse, attention difference (ADHD), and issues around family relationships and attachment. She also focuses on caregiver stress, guilt and shame, sexuality, and women’s issues.
These themes often come up together, and she helps people untangle them one step at a time. The approach is collaborative. May listens first, then suggests straightforward strategies and small experiments people can try between sessions.
She supports both short-term work and longer-term therapy depending on what each person needs. Sessions are offered in English and May sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. People who are feeling low, overwhelmed, or stuck can find a practical, compassionate partner in therapy with her.

Focus areas and approaches
What May works with
Everything May lists, in their own terms.
Online support
She also draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques that look at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. These techniques teach practical skills for managing anxiety, panic and low mood, and for testing out new ways of coping. Trauma-informed methods are used to pace work carefully and address the impact of past harm on everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. May will listen to a person’s history, current goals and preferences, then suggest options and adapt them over time. The plan can change as needs evolve and as the person notices what helps.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to combine therapy with work or caregiving commitments.
