May Alkasab
Support for stress, anxiety and relationship concerns
About May
May Alkasab is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Arabic and is based in the United Kingdom. May brings eight years of experience and works in a calm, non-judgemental way.
She focuses on making the first steps manageable. Sessions aim to give space to talk about feelings and to identify small, practical ways forward. The work is collaborative so people leave with clearer choices and coping tools.
Background and approach
May uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow a person’s lead and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships. These approaches help with issues such as intimacy, communication problems, grief, and responses after trauma. She also supports people facing life changes like divorce or career shifts, and those handling complex feelings such as guilt, shame or compassion fatigue.
Practical topics such as parenting stresses, body image, hoarding, and end-of-life concerns are included in her scope. May is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Her sessions can be through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that suits them.

How May’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The counsellor mirrors concerns, offers empathy and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits those who want a non-directive space to make sense of feelings.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people connect and respond in close relationships. It highlights patterns of interaction and helps people shift the ways they relate. This work can be useful for those dealing with intimacy issues, attachment wounds or repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, personal preferences and what feels most useful. This collaborative process makes it easier to try methods and adjust them over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a short written check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, travel or differing comfort with being on camera.
