About Steven
Steven May is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people dealing with grief, loss and major life changes, and supports work on relationship strain and self-esteem.
He uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. Sessions are built around conversation rather than formal testing. That means time together is used to talk through feelings, concerns, and what a person wants to try next.
People come to him for help with attachment concerns, communication problems and control issues. He also works with those facing divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation or jealousy, and questions about life purpose and workplace stresses.
Sessions involve exploring current struggles and practical ways to manage them between meetings. Steven aims to adjust the pace to suit each person, offering straightforward feedback and space to reflect. He also discusses coping skills and small changes that can make everyday life easier.
He provides all work in English. If someone is unsure whether this is the right fit, he asks a few questions up front to clarify goals and priorities before the first session.
Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person speaking and on creating a listening relationship. The therapist follows what the client brings to the session and reflects back to help the person clarify thoughts and feelings. This approach is often used for relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before suggesting ways to proceed. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together, so the client helps shape what happens in sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It also allows people to meet from the place that best suits their schedule and to try different rhythms until they find what helps most.
