About May
May Pope is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
May uses person-centred counselling as a foundation and integrates evidence-based techniques when they suit the client. That means conversations start from the person's own priorities and move toward practical ways to reduce distress. She mentions drawing on cognitive behavioural approaches for patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and low mood.
She has a practice focus on trauma, including complex post-traumatic stress, and on neurodiversity topics such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum differences in women. May has completed additional professional development in trauma-related work and is studying at master’s level on ASD in women and family estrangement. These elements shape how she understands family-related problems and caregiver stress.
Typical sessions allow people to talk through relationship strain, communication breakdown, guilt, shame and sexuality concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues and the burdens of caregiving. She does not work with eating disorders or with children.
May offers weekly and fortnightly sessions, and some people move to monthly check-ins later on. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
May integrates person-centred counselling with practical, evidence-based techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic connection so the client can set priorities and talk through family or caregiver concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thought patterns and behavioural routines that keep anxiety or low mood going, and they offer simple strategies to shift those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to use. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to problems like communication breakdown, attachment difficulties, trauma responses or the stresses of caring for others.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a therapist who has experience with trauma, ADHD and family estrangement even if they live elsewhere.
