About May
May Brown is a counsellor who bases her work on humanistic and relational approaches. She uses person-centred ways of working to help people talk through anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and the strain that can come from caring for someone with mental health needs.
With eight years' experience, May draws on a mix of therapies to suit each person. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses narrative and existential approaches to help people make sense of identity, purpose and repeated behaviours. Her practice attends to a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family matters, codependency and communication problems. She also works with people facing discrimination, immigration-related stress, isolation and guilt or shame.
Sessions are framed as part of everyday self-care rather than something to reach for only in crisis. May aims to make therapy a consistent, practical space where people can process ongoing life pressures and build clearer ways of coping. She holds BACP registration, which appears in her professional details.
Sessions are offered in English and she works from the United Kingdom. For international care, she does not accept clients outside the UK at this time. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How May works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That makes the process collaborative and helps choose which methods to emphasise over time.
The biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises so they work well at a distance while keeping sessions practical and focused on everyday life.
