May Ann Dulnuan

May Ann Dulnuan is an ACA counsellor with five years of professional experience supporting adults through hard seasons. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma in a calm, practical way. She creates space for honest talk and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

May Ann uses a person-centred foundation and draws on several approaches to meet each person where they are. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to coping skills and emotional safety. She helps clients untangle relationship patterns, attachment problems and issues tied to self-worth.

Her background includes work with diverse adults, complex trauma and substance use concerns. That experience shapes a steady, trauma-aware style that balances practical tools with emotional support. She also helps people facing grief, parenting strain, career pressure and identity concerns including LGBT matters.

Therapy may include activity-based skills practice, values work and gentle reflection on past wounds. May Ann blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-focused ideas to suit each person. Clients are encouraged to move at a manageable pace and practise small changes between sessions.

She holds a Master of Counselling and continues professional development and clinical supervision. Sessions are provided in English from Australia. People are invited to check the Start Therapy process and complete a short questionnaire to begin matching and scheduling.

How her approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite painful thoughts. It is useful when anxiety, depression or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions; it can help with abandonment worries, codependency and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviours to reduce distress, which often helps with anxiety, mood and coping skills.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs to find what fits best. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches so people can try tools and see what works for them.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to practise skills between meetings and to continue regular support when routine changes.
