About Steven
Steven May works in a client-centred way. He focuses on listening and following each person's pace to help them find their own solutions. Steven aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
He has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP recognition. He has particular experience helping people cope with grief and loss, and managing big life changes. Steven gives space for people to talk about what matters most to them and to work through painful feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at relationships and self-worth. He helps people tackle attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues and workplace strain. Steven also supports people facing divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, jealousy, and questions around life purpose and self-love.
In practice he adapts the conversation to each person. That can mean reflecting what is said, asking direct questions, or suggesting small, realistic steps to try between sessions. The focus is on what helps day to day rather than on labels or jargon.
Steven aims to create a respectful and sensitive space. He encourages honesty about worries and about what a person hopes to change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he will work with you to make the process manageable.
