About May
May Alkasab is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and she accepts international clients.
May uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. She encourages people to talk about thoughts and feelings without judgement. Conversations aim to make everyday patterns clearer and to identify practical steps that reduce overwhelm and simmering resentment.
Her background includes substantial time supporting people through grief, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as body image, communication problems, control issues, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. These areas often link with anger or tension in relationships, and she helps people untangle those connections.
May draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas when emotions and attachment patterns are central. In practice this looks like listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and helping clients try different ways of responding to heated moments.
Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit with online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens without directing the story and reflects back what she hears. This approach helps when someone needs to feel understood and to notice patterns that drive anger or stress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and attachment patterns that shape reactions. It helps when anger is tied to hurt, fear of rejection, or difficulties getting close to others. EFT techniques encourage trying new responses to long-standing emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and she treats it as a collaborative process. She will discuss what feels most useful based on the client’s goals, day-to-day realities and personal preferences, and adjust the focus as progress unfolds.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and make regular check-ins easier to maintain. It also allows for shorter or more flexible meetings when schedules or energy levels make a full session difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use this flexibility to match the pace of therapy to everyday life.
