May Alkasab

May Alkasab is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and eating and food-related issues. She works in English and Arabic and draws on eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.

Clients can expect a calm space where they are invited to share what matters to them. May emphasises listening first and tailoring sessions to each person's needs. She encourages practical steps alongside emotional reflection so people can try things between sessions.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with body image, control issues, infidelity and the fallout from separation or divorce. Career stress, low self-esteem and life purpose conversations are part of her practice too.

May uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what the client brings and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships. These ways of working help with emotional repair, clearer communication and managing intense feelings.

She asks people to take the first step when they feel ready and notes that she does not work on Sundays. The site process asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How May's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own solutions. This is helpful for worries about self-worth, life changes and everyday stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape interactions. It helps people name difficult feelings, notice repeating cycles and try new ways of connecting or responding. This can be useful for relationship strain, attachment concerns and processing emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. May will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as the therapy progresses. That collaborative decision making helps ensure sessions stay relevant to each person's needs.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since the profile does not list formats. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, travel or family life, and it can reduce commuting time. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, the option to choose audio-only conversations if video is difficult, and more flexibility for scheduling across time zones.
