May Alkasab

May Alkasab offers calm, practical support for people facing major life shifts. She helps with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She also works with trauma, self-esteem and separation concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and May has eight years of professional experience in the UK.

May creates a space where people can say what they are feeling without judgement. She focuses on listening carefully and helping clients name the patterns that cause pain. Together they look for small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.

Her approach leans on client-centred work that keeps the person and their experience at the heart of therapy. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused work to help people understand and shift painful emotional responses in relationships and during separation.

May has experience supporting people through loss, career strain, compassion fatigue and difficult transitions such as divorce and separation. She also addresses parenting stress, body image, guilt and shame, and issues that come after sexual assault and abuse.

Practical steps are part of the sessions. This can include clearer communication strategies, ways to cope with intense feelings, and planning next steps after life changes. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and pace. It involves active listening, reflection and supporting people to find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed, unsure or needs a compassionate space to think things through.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to identify and shift strong emotional patterns that cause pain in relationships and during major life changes. EFT can help people understand why they react the way they do and practise new ways of responding that reduce distress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences, and may blend client-centred listening with emotionally-focused exercises when that seems helpful.

Confirm the therapist’s current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make accessing a therapist in the same language more practical for people living abroad.
