Erin May

I have vast experience working with children, young people, adults and families in various settings. I have an MSc in counselling children and young people from the University of Northampton, and an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision. I work to an integrative model, meaning I use a a variety of different tools, modalities and training to fit the needs of the individual client. My training covered family therapy also, and I am comfortable including the parent or carer in the therapeutic work with a child if I deem this to be appropriate. I have experience working with children of 4 years old up to adults. I am particularly passionate about the power of play, creative and somatic approaches to assist the therapeutic process. 

I am an accredited EMDR practitioner, and have also worked for the private sector delivering this. I deliver EMDR virtually through software called bilateral base. I am also an EMDR consultant in training. 

I have a specialism in working with trauma - whether this be situational, developmental or relational and experience working to the 3 stage trauma processing model. I also have vast experience working with adoptive families, and alongside private work I previously worked for a psychotherapeutic trauma centre delivering therapy and trauma informed training to schools and adoptive parents or foster carers. 

I have experience with short and long term work, EAP and medico-legal sessions also.

I am currently only offering online sessions, but am available to deliver counselling in schools should this be preferred. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for us to discuss your needs

I am a BACP accredited integrative counsellor with an advanced certificate in Clinical Supervision via the Counselling Tutor. I work with ages 5 up to adults and specialise in trauma. I use a variety of approaches in my work such as play, creative and somatic techniques, as well as working to the 3 stage trauma processing model. 

My aim as a supervisor is to provide you with a space to explore and process your therapeutic work. The sessions should support  your overall wellbeing, enhance your practice and encourage your professional development. My supervision style largely follows The Seven eyed model by Hawkins and Shohet. 

I am also an accredited EMDR practitioner and EMDR consultant in training. 

Supervision sessions will take place online and a minimum of one hour of supervision per month is required

There is a reduced rate available for student counsellors
