May Alkasab , BACP

May Alkasab is a United Kingdom based therapist with eight years of professional experience and BACP membership - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has supported people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship concerns, and the practical challenges of coping with life changes. Her work also covers areas such as self-esteem, grief, parenting, career transitions, and compassion fatigue, with additional focus on issues like body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood at the client’s pace. May emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping people take the courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life while offering steady support along the way. Her approach is responsive to cultural and multicultural concerns and can include attention to complex relationship structures and end-of-life matters when relevant.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy with May Alkasab

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive stance where the client’s experience guides the work. The therapist offers active listening and reflective understanding to help people build self-awareness, improve self-esteem, and navigate life transitions and everyday stressors.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns, helping individuals and couples identify and shift unhelpful interaction cycles. It is often used for relationship and intimacy issues, for those coping with loss, and for healing the effects of trauma on emotional bonds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. May works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and practical needs, and she tailors methods to find the best fit rather than applying a single technique from the start.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or when distance is a factor. Please note that May is not currently accepting new clients.
