About May

May Alkasab is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Arabic and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. May aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward so people can speak honestly about what matters to them.

In sessions she focuses on building an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings.

Background and approach

She uses an empathic, client-centred stance that follows the person’s priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan. This often means listening deeply, reflecting what’s said, and helping clients find their own next steps. May also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape close relationships and attachment.

That approach can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, communication problems, infidelity, or managing strong emotional reactions. She works with practical problems too, such as coping with life changes, grief, career stress and parenting strain. The therapist offers a straightforward way of working and explains options together with each client.

Sessions are available in English and Arabic and May accepts international clients. She does not see people on Sundays. People who want clear, empathetic support for everyday struggles often choose her practice.

The aim is to help clients feel steadier, make practical changes, and build more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approach-focused online counselling and relationship work

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person in the room. The counsellor listens openly, reflects what is said, and helps the client set the agenda. This approach is useful for people wanting a supportive space to make sense of stress, self-esteem issues or life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close relationships and patterns of interaction. It helps people recognise emotional triggers, improve communication, and repair attachment ruptures that cause pain and distance in relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree on ways of working that feel right. That collaborative process can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counselling into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give clients flexibility and practical access to registered and accredited professionals from different locations.
