About May

May Alkasab helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma-related concerns using client-centred and emotionally focused work. She offers counselling in English and Arabic and has eight years of professional experience as a BACP counsellor.

She focuses on practical, conversational sessions where clients can talk through what feels difficult. Sessions cover a wide range of issues including self-esteem, grief, parenting strains, career pressures and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as body image, communication problems, control issues, infidelity and sexual assault and abuse.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises the person’s perspective and pace, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at emotional patterns in close relationships. In practice this means listening, reflecting what the client says, and helping them identify feelings and relationship patterns that matter most to them.

May’s background includes eight years working with people on personal and relational difficulties. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicated by the BACP credential.

She asks people to note that she does not work on Sundays. To begin, clients select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Sessions are provided under a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused Work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and pace, emphasising listening and reflecting what the client says so they can make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with stress, self-esteem and coping with life changes by keeping the client’s priorities central.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people identify and change repeated interaction styles. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, communication problems and grief by mapping how emotions shape connection and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might help, and they will agree a way forward collaboratively rather than imposing a single technique.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote appointments to help clients access therapy from different locations, including international clients, but confirm the exact arrangements when you book.
