About me
Hello my name is May and I am a widely experienced and accredited professional psychotherapist who is passionate about mental health and well-being and been working with people in both the NHS and privately since 2013.
I offer a free informal phone call of around 20mins to discuss your current concerns and to answer any questions you may have. If it seems that the type of therapy I offer would be helpful to you, we can arrange a consultation session which gives an opportunity for you to experience the way that I work and make a choice around whether I am the right person for you to work with.
I provide a confidential, empathetic and non-judgemental environment where we can work together to identify and explore the issues that are causing you concern. I work both with people who are looking for support around a particular issue/set of circumstances, as well as in a longer-term capacity with those who are looking for deeper change and personality development.
I specialise in anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, family issues, life transitions and loss, personality and attachment difficulties, issues from the past and am experienced in working with neurodiversity.
Whatever it is that is causing you to consider talking to someone professional about your difficulties, I recognise every individual as uniquely different, each with the capacity to grow and develop in the right circumstances. Please feel free to contact me to arrange a suitable time for an initial phone call via the above form or via my website.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have extensive postgraduate professional training and a MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council, the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and am accredited with the Professional Standards Authority. I have also trained in Existential Psychotherapy, Mentalization Based Treatment and am a qualified Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist.
I am experienced in both brief and longer-term work and hold an enhanced DBS certificate. I am used to working with both younger and older adults and welcome people from all backgrounds and identities.
