May Brown

May Brown is a counsellor who draws on humanistic and relational approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She works with anger alongside anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns. Her practice aims to make therapy a steady part of self-care rather than a last resort. May B is listed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She has eight years' experience and has worked in acute mental health settings offering both one-to-one and group work. That background means she is used to supporting people through intense life moments. In sessions she helps people track repeated patterns and notice how past relationships affect present reactions.

May uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to focus on what matters to each person. She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy skills and narrative and existential thinking when those approaches fit the issue. This mix lets her combine practical skills training with time to reflect on meaning and identity.

People come for help with grief, parenting strains, relationship problems and career stress, as well as more complex issues such as trauma, bipolar and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns tied to culture, immigration and prejudice.

Her style is direct but warm, with an emphasis on building useful habits between sessions. May encourages small, manageable steps and clear goals. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to her schedule.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships influence present reactions, helping people notice how closeness and trust affect anger and intimacy. It is useful for those wanting to understand repeated patterns and family of origin issues.

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and supports the client to find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through stress or grief.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, contributes practical skills for tolerating distress and regulating strong emotions. These techniques can be helpful alongside reflective work when anger, overwhelm or relationship conflict are present.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and decide together what feels most helpful. That collaborative process shapes which methods are used and how sessions are paced.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who want skills practice between face-to-face meetings, while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
