Alison May

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I’m an inclusive counsellor based in the UK. I have trained in an Integrative style of work, which means I have knowledge and experience in a range of therapeutic areas. I always try to meet you right where you are, and work flexibly to support you the best I can. I view therapy as a team approach, where we work together.

I believe you are the expert of your story. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I have experience working with a variety of issues, including anxiety, sexuality and gender, relationship problems, addiction, depression, trauma, wanting to move forward in life but not being sure how, self esteem, life changing diagnoses, etc.

I am a strong ally to people of colour and trans people. I also have lived personal experience and particular training/professional experience working with LBGT+ people and neurodiverse people, with a special interest in ADHD and Autism.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One of the main advantages is flexibility – people can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. All therapists are licensed professionals, and people may choose to switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy offers an accessible way to seek support while maintaining the same professional standards expected from in-person care.
