About May

May Alkasab offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. She greets each person with straightforward kindness and helps them take small, steady steps toward feeling more able in day-to-day life. Clients can expect a space that aims to be open and non-judgemental.

May listens carefully and helps people name what matters most to them. She focuses on what a person wants to change and on simple ways to try new responses to old problems.

Background and approach

Her background includes eight years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. That registration is part of how she stays connected to practice standards and professional development.

May draws on client-centred work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses emotionally-focused approaches to look at how feelings shape relationships and personal patterns. These methods aim to help clients understand emotions and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and are available to people in the UK and internationally. May offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. She does not work on Sundays.

Ways of working May names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens closely and helps them make changes at their own pace. It is useful for stress, low self-esteem and adjusting to life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding strong feelings and how they affect relationships and personal patterns, which can help with relationship issues, grief and responses to trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. This collaborative decision-making helps ensure sessions feel relevant and practical for the issues being addressed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video calls work well for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and travel.
