About Zayd
Zayd Awan offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. He aims to make therapy easy to access and understand, so someone worried on their phone can quickly see how he might help. Zayd's work also covers relationship difficulties, issues around identity and sexuality, addiction, grief and problems with sleep or eating.
He describes a person-centred, holistic approach that treats emotions and everyday life together.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what's happening now and on small changes that can make daily life easier. Zayd draws on a range of practices to suit each person rather than following a single formula. Zayd holds BACP accreditation, which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
He has five years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom and with international clients by online means. In sessions he may introduce gentle body-based methods alongside talking, when agreed by the client. This can include breathwork, movement or imaginative techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
He supports people facing attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency or feelings of emptiness. He also works with those navigating kink and alternative sexual culture, intimacy concerns and issues such as narcissism or jealousy. The focus is on practical steps that fit everyday life.
People who choose Zayd can expect collaborative sessions that balance emotional understanding with real-world coping strategies. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier days and more choice about how to live.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Many of Zayd's ways of working can be adapted to online formats. Person-centred therapy focuses on the client's experience and offers space to talk through current problems and feelings. It helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns by prioritising understanding and collaborative goal-setting.He also uses gentle body-based and experiential methods, such as breathwork or simple movement, when these suit the person. These techniques aim to help people notice bodily responses, reduce reactivity and try different ways of coping with stress or trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then adapt methods over time so they feel helpful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, travel or different time zones.
