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. 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 and creative therapies to assist the therapeutic process. 

I am a fully qualified EMDR practitioner, and have also worked for the private sector delivering this. I deliver EMDR virtually through software called bilateral base. 

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 also been the Chair of a charity improving wellbeing in young people and have previously worked on their projects as a mentor. 

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.
