May Alkasab

May Alkasab is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She speaks English and Arabic and brings eight years of experience to conversations about relationships, trauma, self-esteem and parenting. She aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and take small steps forward.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens to what matters to each person and adapts sessions to their goals. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's experience and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address patterns in connections with others.

May has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including career stress, compassion fatigue, body image, and complications after relationship breakdown. She also works with people navigating end-of-life matters and bereavement. Conversations tend to be practical and paced to the person’s readiness.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That registration is stated as BACP. Sessions are arranged through an online process that involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

May does not work on Sundays. If you want to begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the questionnaire and choose a time that suits you.

How May's approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own pace and answers. This approach is useful for issues like self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotions and relationships. It helps people identify how they respond in close relationships and change unhelpful cycles. EFT can be helpful for relationship concerns, attachment wounds and intimacy issues.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. May will work with the person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and situation. She adjusts the focus as needs shift over time and checks in about what is helpful.

If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats when you book. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, joining from another town or country, and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. These factors can help people sustain momentum and continue work between meetings.
