Our Approach

Why Our Clinic Stands Out

With almost four decades of experience in the mental health industry and over a decade as a couples therapist, Damian May developed the May Method. Inspired by his own personal journey of self-reflection and growth following a catastrophic divorce, this method is rooted in foundational principles and clinically backed practices for building functional relationships.

Couples Counselling Toronto is currently the only clinic in Canada utilizing the May Method. We are proud to be able to train all of our therapists thereby providing them with an additional approach to assist clients in rebuilding their relationships.

What is the May Method?

The May Method is a structured approach that utilizes a simple model for effective communication and conflict resolution. By combining this approach with a clinical diagnostic assessment, we can unpack core issues and facilitate resolution. While the method is easy to learn, it requires practice, support, therapy, and coaching to become fluent in its methodology.

How Effective is the May Method?

Many past clients who have become fluent in the May Method have achieved success in repairing their relationships. Even in cases where only one partner participated, the remaining partner, through dedicated work, experienced improved emotional intelligence and conflict management skills that positively impacted their overall life. This method will equip you with the necessary tools to nurture and thrive in your relationship.

The May Method has been instrumental in healing fractured relationships, rekindling lost connections, and providing invaluable guidance to newly engaged couples. So long as you are committed to the therapy process and committed to integrating the principles of the May Method, the success rate of couples therapy is very high.

Do All of Your Therapists Utilize the May Method?

Our team of expert therapists have been thoroughly trained in the May Method and utilize it as a central foundation of their therapy methodology. Developed over years of clinical experience and incorporating various therapeutic models, the May Method ensures consistency and a shared language among our team of therapists.
