About Steven
Steven May offers a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful and non-judgemental space where people can talk through relationship strain, grief, self-esteem worries, and big life changes. Steven is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience as a counsellor.
He holds BACP accreditation and works in English. He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and helping people find their own solutions. That can mean working on communication problems, attachment concerns, or issues around control and jealousy. Steven also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
He helps those exploring life purpose, self-love, or workplace stress. Discussions can include practical steps as well as recognising emotional patterns that keep someone stuck. People who are grieving or facing big changes will find sessions that move at their pace.
Steven presents empathy and sensitivity throughout the process. He encourages clients to set goals they feel ready for and to review progress as they go. Beginning with a short matching questionnaire, the therapist helps people plan their next steps.
The work is collaborative and paced to fit each individual’s situation.

How Steven works online
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide what feels useful and to adapt the approach over time. That collaboration helps shape goals and the pace of sessions so clients feel more in control of their progress.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing therapy around work breaks. It can also suit people who prefer a quieter or lower-bandwidth check-in rather than an in-person meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and help choose a format that fits each person’s needs and daily routine.
