About Zayd
Zayd Awan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship concerns. He also helps those facing trauma, addiction, sleep or eating problems, and challenges around self‑esteem and life changes.
His approach balances practical steps and reflective work. Zayd encourages straightforward conversation about what is happening day to day. He asks about patterns, triggers and what people want to be different. Sessions combine talking with gentle ways to notice the body and emotions.
He also works with issues around sexuality and alternative sexual cultures, including BDSM and kink, and supports people navigating attachment, abandonment and codependency. Other topics he addresses include grief, intimacy, parenting strains, career pressures, loneliness and men's issues.
Zayd describes therapy as a mix of emotional processing and learning new ways to behave. He may introduce breath awareness, movement or imaginative exercises when welcomed, alongside more conventional talking methods. His aim is to help clients recognise recurring cycles and try practical alternatives in daily life.
People who prefer direct, plain conversation about feelings and behaviour often find this style accessible. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options available for your circumstances.
Approaches used online and how they help
Many of his methods draw on evidence‑based therapeutic techniques delivered in clear, practical ways. Cognitive‑style work helps identify unhelpful thinking and offers concrete steps to test different responses to anger, anxiety or low mood. Somatic‑informed practices focus on noticing breath and body signals, which can reduce the build up of tension and make it easier to try different behaviours.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on their goals, everyday routine and what feels manageable. This means adjusting techniques over time and checking what works in practice rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check‑in meetings, or use fewer visual demands if someone prefers not to be on camera. It also allows people to continue therapy while living in different places or when arranging sessions around work and family commitments.
