About Zayd
Zayd Awan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, anxiety and the stresses of everyday life. He draws on five years of professional experience and works in English. Zayd aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on small, practical steps clients can use between meetings.
He approaches therapy as a chance to understand patterns that keep people stuck. Conversations cover how thoughts, habits and relationships affect mood.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at coping skills, ways to manage low energy, and steps to rebuild routine and meaning. Zayd uses a broad, person-centred outlook that can include creative options when they fit a client's preferences. Some people choose talking therapy alone, while others may welcome breathwork, movement or nature-based ideas to complement the work.
The emphasis is on what helps the individual make change. He also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief and relationship issues. Practical problem solving and gentle exploration of difficult memories both appear in his work, depending on what a client needs.
Zayd pays attention to how shame, isolation or attachment wounds can keep someone feeling low. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and international clients can be seen. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time via the Start Therapy button.

Online support
Complementary, body-aware techniques can be offered as part of the work when a client wishes. Simple breath exercises and movement practices can reduce tension and help people feel more rooted in their bodies. Such options are presented as choices to support emotional regulation and grounding rather than as mandatory steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then tests approaches together to see what helps. Clients are invited to give regular feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or shorter sessions that fit around work. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and busy schedules.
