About May
May Ann Dulnuan is an ACA counsellor with five years' experience helping adults who are managing stress, anxiety, addiction and the fallout of trauma. She aims to make counselling straightforward and practical so people can start feeling a bit more stable and able to cope. Her manner is calm and respectful and she focuses on what a person wants to change now.
May Ann works in a person-centred way that values each person's story and pace.
How May works
She draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape sessions. This means she blends talking, practical exercises and small goals so people can try new ways of managing difficult feelings.
She has experience supporting people affected by substance use and complex trauma, and also helps with grief, relationship challenges, parenting strain, workplace stress and questions about identity. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies by location and therapist availability. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a time according to therapist availability. May Ann continues professional development and supervision to maintain best practice and thoughtful care in her work.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising concrete strategies to change them, which often helps with anxiety, mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand and adjust how they relate to others and to themselves.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss a person's goals, preferences and life situation and then try methods that suit those needs. Sessions can change over time as goals shift, and May Ann uses a mix of approaches to find what works best for each person.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments and allow consistent work even when travel or schedules are difficult.
