About Steven
Steven May uses a client-centred approach to make conversations simple and direct. He focuses on honest listening and meeting people where they are. Steven aims to create a steady space in which someone can talk through relationship strains, grief, or big life changes.
He has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a practical style that helps people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person. Steven listens for patterns such as attachment concerns, communication problems and control issues, then helps people try different ways of responding. He also supports work on self-esteem, self-love, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose.
People often come with separation or divorce, workplace strains, loneliness or jealousy. Steven breaks these topics into manageable parts. He helps people name hurts, practise new conversations, and plan small, achievable changes.
Steven aims to be respectful and compassionate in every session. He invites people to set the pace and shape the focus. The goal is a clearer sense of direction and more confident choices in relationships and everyday life.

Approaches Steven lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Steven will work with you to decide whether a client-centred style fits your goals and how to adapt it for your situation. That collaboration helps shape goals, pacing and practical steps together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you use facial cues and a fuller conversation, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit a work break, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets you write when that feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
