About May
May Alkasab is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress and anxiety and with trauma and abuse, and she also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and international clients are accepted.
Her approach centres on listening and helping people name what feels difficult. She uses client-centred methods to follow a person's lead and emotionally-focused work to look at attachment and feeling patterns in relationships. Practical steps and pacing are discussed together so the process suits each person’s pace.
May typically helps with life changes such as separation, career shifts, grief and parenting strain, and with issues like self-esteem, body image and guilt. She also offers support around post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse. Conversations cover concrete problems and everyday coping skills as well as feelings behind them.
She asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. Please check current session options before booking.
May does not work on Sundays. Her style is direct and calm, aiming to help people speak about what matters to them and try small steps that can make daily life easier.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what a person brings to each session. Online this can mean fewer formal exercises and more talking through what feels most urgent, which helps when social anxiety or stress makes it hard to say everything at once. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at attachment and how emotions shape relationships. In remote sessions this can help people notice patterns in their reactions and try different ways of communicating with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed together as progress is made so the plan can change if something does not fit.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can be useful for fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time and having shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to use language support in English or Arabic and to connect with a therapist when living outside the UK. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss what format suits each person during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
