About May

May Alkasab is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Arabic and can support clients dealing with trauma, grief and major life changes. Her approach focuses on listening and working with each person to find practical ways forward.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy to put the client's experience at the heart of each session. That means she follows the person's pace, reflects what they say and helps them make sense of their feelings. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how emotion affects connection and conflict.

With eight years of professional experience, May aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space for talking through hard topics. She helps people manage anger, self-esteem struggles, parenting strains and career-related stress. She also works with issues such as body image, forgiveness, and recovering from sexual assault and abuse.

Practical issues such as coping with divorce, end-of-life concerns, hoarding, and multicultural matters are within her focus. She talks people through grief, compassion fatigue and questions about life purpose. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability. May does not work on Sundays.

How Client-Centred and Emotion-Focused Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first and involves the counsellor listening closely, reflecting feelings and following the client's pace to help them understand themselves better. It can be helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close relationships and recurring patterns. It helps people identify emotional cycles, improve communication and repair connection after conflict or loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will help decide which approach or combination fits best. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility across time zones for international clients and can make regular therapy more manageable alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
