Kevin May
MBACP
PERSON-CENTRED COUNSELLOR
About my therapy practice:
I am a trainee therapist at North Hertfordshire College in Stevenage and a student member of the BACP, I
am in my final year of a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and I use the person-centred approach.
My practice with my clients revolves around us building a therapeutic relationship so that you feel able to
speak freely in a non-judgmental environment. My aims are to give you the space and time to explore your
emotions and any associated challenges while working together to achieve positive change. It is important
for me to actively listen and hear the sense of emotions that you are feeling so that we can name them and
reflect on where they have come from or how you have found yourself where you are. I offer the opportunity
to think about our challenges or specific experiences, whether they feel traumatic or otherwise, in a
different way so that we can understand how you can move forward.
About me and my qualifications:
I am Bishop’s Stortford-based and in the last three years, I have completed levels 1-3 of the Counselling
diploma; this has given me a wealth of theoretical knowledge as well as the most up-to-date training
experience.
I hold an honours degree (2:1) in criminology and a post-graduate diploma in journalism.
What I can help with:
Trauma from specific issues or challenges, career/business problems, addiction and addictive-relative
behaviours, anxiety, low mood, relationship/friendship concerns, disorganised/dysfunctional thoughts,
overwhelm, loneliness, bereavement
One of my interests is working with people looking to overcome problems that might emerge from early
involvement in criminality or areas within these spectrums.
I offer short-term therapy to adults over 18 years of age for a period of sixteen weekly sessions; this can be
extended to twenty-four sessions by mutual choice.
