About Zayd
Zayd Awan is a counsellor who aims to help parents and individuals handle the daily strains of life. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. He also supports those dealing with parenting concerns, grief, addiction and questions about identity or intimacy.
He describes therapy as grounded and practical. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings. Conversations are direct but compassionate, helping clients notice patterns and try new ways of relating and coping.
Background and approach
Zayd brings five years of experience to his practice and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He combines talking approaches with creative options when appropriate, such as movement, breathwork and guided imagination to widen the ways people can process feelings.
People often come with tangled problems like attachment wounds, communication difficulties or issues around sex, kink and alternative relationship styles. Zayd aims to make these topics easier to name and manage, so clients can set clearer boundaries and choices. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people inside and outside the United Kingdom.
He uses online formats that fit busy lives, and works collaboratively to choose which methods suit each person's goals and day-to-day demands.

Approaches you can try online
His practice blends talking therapies with creative, experiential tools. One approach is breathwork and guided imagery, which helps people calm intense feelings and rehearse new responses to stress and anxiety. This can be useful for panic, low mood and processing overwhelming memories.Another strand is movement and body-based work, which includes gentle movement or guided attention to bodily sensations. This helps people who feel stuck in repeated patterns, attachment wounds or difficulties with intimacy to reconnect with how their body responds in relationships.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort and day-to-day life. Clients shape the pace and whether more creative methods are introduced.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy parents and people with unpredictable schedules. Video calls let you read facial cues and use visual tools, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support and when typing feels easier than speaking.
