About Zaid
Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and relationship strain. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what’s worrying them and try small, practical changes. Zaid writes and speaks in plain language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.
He works from a person-centred view that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and building on strengths. This approach is practical for issues such as low mood, grief, coping with life changes and problems with sleep.
Zaid also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice simple skills. These tools are offered alongside solution-focused ideas that look for small, immediate shifts the client can try between sessions. Trauma-informed ways of working are available when past events affect day-to-day life.
With five years of experience, he has supported people facing addictions, parenting strain, career stress, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem. He also works with people dealing with anger, eating concerns, ADHD-related struggles and compassion fatigue. Zaid aims to move at each person’s pace and to prioritise small steps that feel doable.
Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu. He practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Zaid’s approaches translate to online work
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions. Online discussions are used to reflect what matters to the client and to help them clarify goals and strengths.Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. In remote sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts and practising small behavioural changes or experiments between meetings to improve sleep, anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve rest. These can be guided during a session and become short exercises the client uses in daily life to manage racing thoughts or sleep disruption.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt techniques over time if something doesn’t feel helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where useful. It can also let people try techniques between sessions in their usual routine and bring what happens day-to-day back into the conversation.
