About Zaid
Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and a wide range of life challenges. He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and works at a pace that feels comfortable for each person. He speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and practises from the United Kingdom.
Zaid uses person-centred ideas to make sessions about what matters most to the client. He listens closely and helps people name what they are feeling.
Background and approach
From that starting point he uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness strategies are introduced to help with grounding, sleep and intense emotions. For people affected by past harm, trauma-focused work is used to gently process memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life.
Solution-focused techniques help set clear, achievable goals and move forward between sessions. Zaid has five years of experience supporting people with depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties and self-esteem problems. He also helps those dealing with parenting strain, career stress, eating and sleeping issues, anger and the wider effects of loss or life transitions.
Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Therapy is delivered with an emphasis on collaboration, so plans are shaped around each person’s goals and practical needs.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them identify priorities and strengths to build on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety or low mood, and then using practical exercises to change those patterns over time. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to gently process distressing experiences and reduce their impact on daily life, using paced, stabilising techniques rather than rushing through memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zaid will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the client’s needs, goals and comfort. Sessions are collaborative, so plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made or as priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people with less bandwidth or who prefer audio only, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping the focus on practical techniques and steady progress.
