About May
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience, May Brown works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship issues. She uses attachment-based work, client-centred methods and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy among other approaches. May helps people talk through repeated patterns, identity and discrimination issues, and the strains that come from supporting a loved one with mental health needs.
May describes therapy as a way to process everyday life, not only something for crises. Sessions focus on practical conversation and gradual change. She offers one-to-one work and has experience leading group sessions in an acute mental health hospital setting earlier in her career.
Her client-centred approach begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape current behaviour. DBT skills contribute practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping.
May also uses narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of life changes, losses and questions about purpose. She will often encourage small experiments in how someone relates to others and themselves, then reflect on what worked and what felt difficult.
Her practice includes work on parenting concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, cultural and discrimination-related stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and May asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first appointment is scheduled through the online booking flow.

How May Brown uses her approaches in remote work
May uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and close relationships influence present-day reactions and patterns. This helps when people are struggling with trust, intimacy-related issues or repeated relationship patterns.Her client-centred stance means sessions begin with listening to what the person says matters most. That approach supports people who want to clarify values, decision points or life purpose questions without a heavy focus on technique.
Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are offered as practical tools to manage intense emotions, reduce conflict and improve day-to-day coping. These skills can be useful alongside other approaches when someone needs concrete strategies between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might fit, and will shape the approach together with the client over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or mobility limits and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s schedule, while face-to-face choices can be discussed if available.
