About Steven
Steven May is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people handle difficult life moments. He works with relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem, and focuses on practical ways to cope with change. He has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation in the United Kingdom.
Steven keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He listens first, and shapes conversations around what matters most to each person. People bring worries about communication, attachment, guilt, or feelings of isolation, and he helps them find clearer ways to respond.
When grief or separation feels overwhelming, Steven helps people make sense of what comes next. He also supports those dealing with workplace stress and questions about life purpose. Sessions emphasise small, manageable steps rather than big, rapid change.
He aims to adapt the pace and tone to each person. That can mean focusing on how to improve communication, rebuilding self-love, or working through shame and forgiveness. The emphasis is on practical discussion and learning new ways to cope.
Steven invites people who are ready to try therapy to take the first step. He asks questions to match priorities and then plans sessions that reflect individual needs. This approach helps people move forward at a pace that suits them.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. It involves active listening, reflecting what you say, and following your lead so sessions focus on what matters most to you. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and navigating life changes.Working together online starts with a conversation about what you want to achieve. The therapist will check your goals, preferences and practical needs, and then agree how to proceed. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try different ways of working and adjust as you go.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to arrange a shorter check-in between in-person visits, or to choose an option that suits lower bandwidth if needed. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor the format to your needs so therapy fits around everyday life rather than disrupting it.
