About May
ACA counsellor May Ann Dulnuan has five years' counselling experience in Australia and works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She uses person-centred practice alongside evidence-based approaches to help people manage mood, relationships and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to cope rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
May Ann draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people change unhelpful patterns of thinking and build values-based action. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas when relationship history affects current responses and applies Client-Centred principles to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her background includes work with adults affected by substance use and complex trauma. That experience informs how she plans sessions and manages risk concerns. She combines short-term practical interventions with longer work on patterns that keep problems returning.
People who prefer clear techniques and steady problem-solving usually find her style direct and focused. She encourages small experiments between sessions, such as tracking thoughts or trying brief behavioural changes. Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through the site's matching and scheduling process.
May Ann keeps ongoing professional development and supervision as part of her practice. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work when meeting online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by focusing on small, value-led steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people practise new ways of relating and regulating emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear techniques to test and change those patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. If a method is not helpful, adjustments are made and alternatives are discussed together.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping contact without travel. Because the original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm the available session types before booking. This helps people choose options that suit quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins or avoiding video when preferred. Appropriately qualified counsellors can adapt exercises and between-session tasks so therapy continues to be useful when it is scheduled into a busy week.
