About May
May Alkasab offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She greets each person with patience and directness. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on finding steps that feel doable right now.
She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's own goals and pace at the centre of each session. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is also part of her practice, helping people notice and work with strong feelings that affect relationships and personal wellbeing.
Background and approach
Across eight years in the United Kingdom, she has supported people through trauma and abuse, relationship problems, parenting strains, career pressure and grief. She also helps with issues such as body image, communication problems, shame and forgiveness, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and she is comfortable working with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Practical concerns like managing anger, coping with a separation, or finding life purpose are explored in plain language and with concrete options to try between sessions. May encourages clients to set their own pace and priorities. She asks clear questions, listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of change.
Note that she does not work on Sundays.

Approaches May lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name powerful emotions and understand how those feelings shape relationships and behaviour. This approach can be useful for processing trauma responses, improving emotional communication and handling intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose what to try first, based on goals, comfort and preferences. That may mean focusing on emotional awareness in one period and on practical coping steps in another. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and body language, while phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to send quick reflections between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care when travel, work or geography make in-person meetings difficult.
