About May
May Alkasab offers calm, practical support for people juggling parenting and life stress. She writes plainly with warmth and aims to make conversations feel simple and direct. Those who are worried about anxiety, grief, trauma or relationship strain will find a steady, listening presence.
May uses straightforward talk to help people name what matters and try new ways of coping. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can make daily life easier. Her work covers stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, parenting concerns and compassion fatigue. Additional areas include body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and dealing with past sexual assault and abuse.
May also supports people facing career uncertainty and questions about life purpose. May has eight years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She runs sessions in English and Arabic and accepts international clients.
People choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging depending on what fits their life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right schedule. May aims to help people take steady steps, feel heard and build practical ways to cope that suit their everyday routine.

How May’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy is about following what matters to the person in front of her. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers; this is useful for stress, low self-esteem and dealing with life changes.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting painful patterns in close relationships. It helps people name emotions, understand how they affect interactions and try new ways of connecting when relationships feel stuck.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. May will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they like to work, then adapt methods together so therapy fits practical needs and emotional aims.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and a quieter moment are available. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is not possible or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing reflection and flexible check-ins for those who prefer writing or who need to fit sessions into small pockets of time.
