May Alkasab

May Alkasab is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anger, stress and anxiety. She speaks English and Arabic and offers support for relationship worries, grief, career strain and changes that feel hard to navigate. Her BACP credential is listed as BACP, which reflects the professional registration she has chosen to maintain.

She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and calm. May sets out to create a space where people can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgement. She offers practical ways to notice and respond to emotions, and helps people practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Drawing on eight years of experience, May works with people affected by trauma and abuse, sexual assault, post-traumatic stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, body image, control issues and the fallout of separation or infidelity. Practical problem-solving and emotional processing are common parts of her work.

Her approach includes client-centred therapy, which focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at attachments and emotional patterns in relationships. Sessions can also touch on life purpose, parenting stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, hoarding and multicultural issues when relevant.

How May's approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, mirrors what’s said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach can help with anger, low self-esteem and life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns, especially in close relationships. It helps people recognise painful emotional cycles and try new ways of connecting or responding. This can be useful for relationship strain, attachment worries and processing trauma-related feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. May will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the approach as the work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit those who prefer speaking without being on camera or who need a quieter arrangement around work or home commitments.
