Kevin May is a trainee person-centred therapist and counsellor, studying in the second year of a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling at North Hertfordshire College. He is currently working with clients as part of his training placement at Stortford Therapy Space in Hertfordshire.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (membership no. 0103199).
My practice:
My practice with clients revolves around us working as a team to build a therapeutic relationship so that they feel able to speak freely in a non-judgmental environment. My approach gives them the space and time to explore their emotions and associated challenges while working together to achieve positive change.
It is important for me to actively listen and hear the emotions that they are feeling so that we can name them and reflect on where they might have originated or understand how they have found themselves where they are. I offer the opportunity to think about challenges or specific experiences, whether they feel traumatic or otherwise, in a different way, so that we can understand how clients can move forward.
What I can help with:
Trauma from specific issues or challenges, career/business problems, addiction and addiction-related behaviours, anxiety, low mood, relationship/friendship concerns, disorganised/dysfunctional thoughts, loneliness, bereavement.
One of my interests is working with people who are hoping to overcome problems that emerge from early involvement in criminality.
I offer short-term therapy to adults over 18 years of age for a period of 16 weekly sessions; this can be extended to 24 by mutual decision.
