About Steven

Steven May works on relationship difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem and coping with life changes using a client-centred approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the UK.

He offers a calm, listening style where the person leads the pace and topics of conversation. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, for example repair of communication, coping after bereavement, or rebuilding confidence after a separation. Steven aims to help people make sense of strong emotions and decide on practical next steps.

Steven has worked with people who face attachment issues, jealousy, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. He also supports those dealing with workplace pressure, questions about life purpose and the emotional aspects of divorce and separation. Conversations often include looking at what someone values and where they want to be next.

His method places emphasis on the client’s perspective rather than directing outcomes. This means questions, reflective listening and gentle prompts to help the client find their own answers. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s comfort.

For people who are unsure what to expect, Steven encourages a brief initial session to clarify goals and ways of working. The first meetings usually focus on immediate practical concerns and on agreeing what to try next.

Client‑centred approaches and remote sessions

Client‑Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and offers questions to help the person clarify feelings and make their own choices. This approach can help with relationship problems, self‑esteem issues and coping after bereavement.

The same principles work well in remote work because the emphasis is on the conversation and on what the client brings to the session. Steven will discuss goals, review progress and adjust the way he works together with the client so the approach fits their needs and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. It can also make sessions possible when someone cannot be physically nearby a counsellor. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care while working collaboratively with clients.
