About May
May Alkasab is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions can also address life changes, grief, parenting pressures and career worries. She speaks English and Arabic and accepts international clients.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. In sessions she pays attention to feelings that are hard to name and to patterns that keep repeating in relationships. She aims to make it easier to express emotion, notice triggers, and try different ways of responding.
May focuses on practical conversation and emotional reflection rather than technical jargon. Clients can expect straightforward talk about what is happening now, how it connects with past experience, and what small steps might help. She encourages gentle experimentation with new responses and clearer communication.
She works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, anger, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, and post-traumatic stress. Other areas she addresses include hospice and end-of-life counselling, hoarding, multicultural concerns, polyamory and sexual assault and abuse.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
Working online with an EFT and client-centred counsellor
May draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and work with core emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. EFT focuses on how feelings show up in interactions and aims to create new, more helpful ways of responding. Client-Centred Therapy complements this by keeping the conversation focused on the client’s experience and preferences, and by encouraging exploration at the client’s pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss what fits best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences and will make those decisions together. That collaborative process helps decide how much emphasis to place on emotions, communication practice or personal reflection.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time so sessions can slot in around work or caregiving. If you want to check which session formats she offers right now, please confirm the current options before booking.
