About May
May Ann Dulnuan is an ACA counsellor who helps adults navigate difficult times and build practical coping skills. She draws on five years of hands-on counselling experience to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. Her approach is warm and direct, aiming to help clients feel steadier day to day.
She uses person-centred methods that let clients set the pace and focus of sessions. May Ann blends cognitive behavioural techniques with acceptance and mindfulness practices to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build tolerance for strong emotions. She also works with attachment-related concerns and relationship difficulties in single-person therapy.
Clients can expect short-term strategies and longer-term work depending on their goals. May Ann often combines practical exercises with reflective conversation, so people leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. She explains techniques in simple language and checks in about what’s helpful.
Her background includes counselling people affected by substance use and complex trauma. That experience informs how she supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and life changes after separation or loss. She also helps those coping with natural or human-caused disaster impacts.
May Ann trained to a Master of Counselling level and continues ongoing professional development and supervision. Sessions are offered in English in Australia, and she works with each person to set goals and plans that fit their life and values.
How her approaches fit online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going and practising different responses to shift mood and behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build healthier relating over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. May Ann treats therapy as a collaboration and will talk with each person about goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, and let people attend from wherever they are in Australia. It also removes travel time and can help maintain continuity of care when life gets interrupted. Appropriately qualified counsellors can use the same therapeutic techniques online as they do in person, adapting exercises so they work in a virtual setting.
