About Zaid

Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help parents and individuals facing everyday pressures. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around parenting. Zaid works in English, Hindi and Urdu and uses a straightforward, respectful approach to meet people where they are.

He draws on client-centred practice to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot patterns in thinking and try small practical changes. Mindfulness elements can support managing difficult feelings and staying grounded between sessions. With five years' experience, Zaid has supported people coping with addictions, relationship strain, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and life changes.

He also has additional focus on attachment, abandonment, blended family concerns, body image and codependency. He talks in plain language and keeps sessions focused on useful next steps. Therapy with Zaid is offered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.

Sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Zaid aims to work collaboratively, helping people set goals and try practical strategies that fit their everyday lives.

Online support

How these approaches work online

Zaid uses client-centred practice to create a listening space where the person’s priorities guide each session. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what to focus on together.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical experiments. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and getting unstuck with day-to-day routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zaid will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose or adapt methods so the work fits the person’s life and parenting responsibilities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible around work, childcare and busy schedules.
