Evidence-based approaches for online therapeutic support

May works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of children, adolescents, and adults. One common focus is trauma-informed work, which helps people process distressing experiences in a paced and supportive way so they can reduce the emotional impact of those events and regain a sense of control. Another strand of her practice emphasises skills-based talking therapies that help people manage stress and anxiety, improve coping strategies, and build self-esteem through practical tools and structured conversations that suit the client’s stage of life and concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. May collaborates with each person to explore which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure that the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to arrange therapy around daily commitments and life changes. These options make it easier to access regular support, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations make in-person appointments difficult.
