About Zayd
Zayd Awan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. He also supports people facing relationship and family issues, work-related strain, and questions around identity and intimacy.
Zayd uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions focus on what someone is experiencing now and what they want to change. He keeps language plain and aims for short, useful steps that people can try between meetings.
His background includes work with a broad range of concerns such as addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Zayd is also open to conversations about attachment, abandonment and issues that arise in alternative sexual cultures. He describes therapy as a space to talk honestly and to practise different ways of coping.
He often brings breath and movement into sessions when it feels relevant, and may use creative practices such as imagination and dream work to help people access difficult material. He invites people to notice bodily cues and to learn small skills for calming and regulation.
Sessions start with a clear discussion of what the person wants to focus on and simple steps to try between meetings. Booking begins by completing an online matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Zayd uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques presented in plain terms. He often integrates breath and movement practices to help people notice bodily signals and calm intense states, which can be useful for anger and anxiety. He also draws on imagination and dream work as a way to access feelings and rehearse new responses when words alone feel limited.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying short practical skills first, then adding breath or creative exercises if they help.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins around work breaks, avoiding travel, and making it easier to keep a regular schedule. Online sessions can also let someone use quieter surroundings or turn off video when they prefer a less demanding check-in. Discuss format options when you book to match how you want to work.
