About Zayd
Zayd Awan welcomes people seeking straightforward help with stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. He writes plainly and meets people where they are. Zayd brings five years of counselling experience and works in the United Kingdom.
He is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Zayd aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now - handling anxiety, managing anger, improving sleep, or coping with grief and relationship problems.
Background and approach
He also supports work on identity, sexuality and issues linked to addiction, ADHD and compassion fatigue. His way of working is flexible and person-centred. Conversations are used to name patterns and try small, doable changes.
He may suggest creative practices such as breathwork, movement or imagery when they feel useful and are welcomed by the client. Zayd describes therapy as both personal and exploratory. He encourages people to learn new ways to think, relate and enjoy life.
This can include looking at attachment, abandonment wounds, communication problems and struggles with self-worth. Practical steps are part of the process. He helps people build clearer boundaries, set achievable goals and develop coping strategies for everyday stressors.
The emphasis is on steady progress and on methods the client can use outside sessions. People who prefer a warm, creative approach may find his style helpful. He works in English and accepts international clients, and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Zayd works online
He also offers creative somatic practices when welcomed by the client, such as breathwork, movement or guided imagery to help regulate emotions and access bodily awareness. These practices can be useful for trauma, chronic stress and issues linked to intimacy or identity.
Finding the best approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals, preferences and current needs. That may mean focusing on practical skills for coping, exploring emotion through movement, or mixing both depending on progress.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also let people try creative exercises from a familiar setting while working together to find what helps most.
