Zayd Awan

Zayd Awan is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and relationship concerns. He also supports clients facing grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and issues related to narcissism. Zayd works in English and takes a practical, person-centred approach to the problems people bring to therapy.

He trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of experience. His practise is informed by a holistic view of wellbeing that includes emotional, physical and creative ways of working. Sessions aim to be grounded and straightforward, so people can find immediate, useful changes in day-to-day life.

Zayd often combines talking work with experiential activities if a client is interested. These can include breathwork, movement, song, nature work and imagination-based exercises to deepen learning and regulation. He offers these options as possibilities to explore together rather than fixed treatments.

People meet him for help with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those dealing with shame, guilt, isolation and challenges around kink, BDSM and alternative sexual cultures. His style balances practical coping skills with opportunities to discover new ways of being.

Clients who choose to work with Zayd can expect a collaborative process. He helps people set goals and tries techniques that match each person’s needs and preferences. Before booking, readers should confirm session formats and scheduling details directly through the service.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Many of the methods Zayd uses focus on practical techniques people can apply between sessions. Person-centred work is about listening, reflecting and helping people identify what matters to them; it suits concerns like low self-esteem, anxiety and life changes. Experiential techniques such as breathwork and movement involve simple, body-based exercises that support emotional regulation and can help with stress, trauma reactions and anger.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as progress unfolds. People are involved in planning what to try and when to move on to different methods.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fit with a busy life and fewer travel requirements. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins during a workday, or for trying creative exercises that make sense in a home setting. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the exact online and in-person options available before booking to be sure they match your needs.
