May Pope, NCPS

May Pope is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About May

May Pope is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses evidence-based techniques alongside a person-centred style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work also covers family-related issues and ADHD-related difficulties.

May keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps. She aims to build a dependable therapeutic relationship so people can try new ways of coping and then use those skills in their everyday life.

Background and approach

Meetings can be weekly, fortnightly or moved to monthly check-ins as therapy progresses. Her background includes three years of clinical practice and a National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society credential, NCPS. She is completing postgraduate study on autism in women and the effects of family estrangement, which informs how she understands certain relational patterns.

In sessions she leans on person-centred work and borrows tools from other modalities when they suit the person’s needs, including cognitive behavioural approaches. That means sessions often focus on understanding current difficulties, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps.

May has experience supporting people who have faced psychosis, addiction, alcoholism and mood or personality difficulties, while noting she does not offer work with eating disorders or with children. She accepts international clients and offers several online formats to suit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

May uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping people notice what they need most right now. It can be helpful for anyone feeling overwhelmed, lonely or unsure about next steps.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques. These methods look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offer practical exercises to try between sessions. They tend to help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routine patterns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. May will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit the situation. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well when face-to-face style conversation matters, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into busy days. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, care responsibilities and different time zones, and they allow continuity of care when travel or relocation happens.
