May Alkasab

May Alkasab is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain and the effects of trauma. She speaks English and Arabic and draws on eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. May aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who want change.

She creates a calm, non‑judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and on practical ways to cope day to day. May emphasises respect and patience while people work through hard moments.

Her background includes work with grief, parenting strains, career concerns and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with body image, control issues, infidelity and end‑of‑life matters. The broad experience helps her tailor conversations to real life worries rather than using a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

May uses client‑centred methods that keep the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also draws on Emotionally‑Focused Therapy to help with relationship and intimacy concerns by tracking feelings and patterns that cause distress. These approaches are used together to make conversations practical and relevant.

May is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Her practice accepts clients from outside the UK. She does not work on Sundays, so session times are arranged on other days only.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client‑centred therapy focuses on hearing the person and building sessions around their priorities. The counsellor offers a listening stance, reflects what is said and helps people find their own ways to cope and decide on next steps.

Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when relationship patterns cause pain. It pays attention to feelings in the moment and to the ways people respond to each other, which can be useful for intimacy, communication and post‑traumatic stress issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. May collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift and new priorities emerge.

Check which online session options are available before booking, as formats are arranged through the service. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. It can also suit shorter check‑ins when energy or time is limited, or sessions that do more in conversation than paperwork.
