May Pope, BA, NCPS Accred.
Welcome, I am May, a counsellor who is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities life can bring. Using evidence based approaches, compassion and empathy we can focus on stress, abuse, family issues, depression and any other aspects of your life that may be causing you distress, panic attacks or anxiety. My goal is to provide you with a safe and supportive space where you can achieve personal growth and therapeutic work. By developing a healthy relationship between us, the goal is that you can then replicate this with other family members, friends and even with yourself. I offer person centred counselling drawing from other modalities when needed such as CBT.
About Me.
My specialist areas include working with trauma, neurodivergent clients, ADHD and Autism and the impacts of family estrangement.
I have experience working with psychosis, addiction, alcoholism, personality disorders such as BPD, and bipolar. But please note that I do not work with eating disorders, or children at this time.
Whether you want to seek support for a specific issue, or are feeling sad or lonely and need someone to talk to, please feel free to reach out.
I offer sessions weekly and fortnightly, with some clients choosing to move to a monthly check in to help facilitate a supported ending. Counselling is so individual and I cannot tell you how long you would need sessions for, but I do offer long term work and short term work.
I offer sessions by phone, video call or whatsapp message, depending on what suits you best as a client. I am not currently offering face to face work, but if this is something you would be interested in then please do reach out as I do operate a waiting list for this.
