May Brown, BACP

May Brown is a BACP-registered humanistic therapist with eight years of clinical experience, currently working in a private acute mental health hospital where she facilitates both one-to-one and group therapy. She draws on a humanistic approach to help people navigate anxiety, depression and challenges with self-esteem, while also supporting those facing discrimination, identity concerns and recurring relational patterns.

Her practice emphasizes therapy as an ongoing part of self-care rather than something only used in crisis. May Brown frames therapeutic work as a place to process experiences related to supporting a loved one through their mental health journey, to address relationship or confidence issues, or to work through life transitions and emotional distress.

May B Therapy was developed with accessibility in mind, offering options for people who have never tried therapy before, are unsure whether therapy is right for them, or cannot attend in-person sessions. Her background includes substantial work with diverse presentations and a commitment to exploring family dynamics, identity and repeated behavioral patterns in a supportive, respectful way.

She aims to make therapy a practical, sustainable part of a client’s routine, helping clients build insight and coping strategies that fit their everyday lives.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

May Brown draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand relationship dynamics, attachment needs and ways to build healthier connections. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client's experience by offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can develop their own solutions. Additionally, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy - or DBT - are used to teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or relationship conflicts arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and May works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences. She tailors sessions over time, adjusting techniques as clients learn and grow.

Online therapy with May is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time and allow clients to access registered professionals from locations that suit them.
