May Brown, BACP

May Brown is a BACP-registered therapist who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work in a private acute mental health hospital, where she facilitates both one-to-one and group therapy. She practices from a humanistic perspective, offering a warm, collaborative approach that helps people make sense of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and repeated patterns that affect relationships and daily life. May also supports clients facing discrimination, identity questions and the complex emotions that follow loss and significant life changes.

She frames therapy as an ongoing part of self-care rather than something reserved only for crisis moments, encouraging clients to use the process to understand difficult experiences, strengthen resilience and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Her practice, May B Therapy, offers flexible options for those who cannot attend in person, and she is accustomed to working with people at different stages of their journeys, from first-time attendees to those with prior therapy experience.

May works with a broad range of concerns including family and relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career questions and issues such as codependency, commitment worries, guilt and shame. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to professional standards.
