About May
May Alkasab is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. She speaks English and Arabic and offers sessions online to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Her style is warm and straightforward so parents can grasp what to expect in short conversations.
May creates a calm space for people to talk about upsetting experiences and relationship problems. She listens first and follows the concerns the client brings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding feelings and building small practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Her work draws on client-centred therapy, so the person is at the heart of the process. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationships and attachment patterns are part of the difficulty.
Together these approaches help with grief, trauma, low self-esteem and communication problems. May has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. She combines that experience with a gentle, non-judgemental manner to support people coping with career stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and more.
Practical concerns such as body image, hoarding, guilt and forgiveness are also within her focus. She will work with clients to set manageable goals, practise new ways of relating, and plan steps for moving forward. May does not work on Sundays.

Approaches May lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses and patterns in relationships. It helps people understand how feelings shape interactions and aims to shift patterns that cause pain, which can be useful for relationship strain, attachment worries and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. May will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods over time, so the plan fits what the client needs. That decision is made together, step by step.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments, while still following the therapeutic plan.
