About Zayd
Zayd Awan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression or big life changes. He offers straightforward, practical support for mood, self‑esteem, grief, addiction and relationship worries. Sessions are aimed at making day to day life more manageable and helping clients find clearer direction.
Zayd is a BACP member. He has five years of experience working with a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues related to sexuality such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture.
Background and approach
He also focuses on attachment and abandonment, codependency and communication problems. In sessions he listens for the patterns that make things feel stuck. He helps people notice how their past and habits affect their present choices.
Conversations are practical and paced to each person, with space for naming feelings and trying small changes between meetings. People can bring everyday problems like sleep, eating, anger or parenting strain. He also supports exploration of intimacy, identity and life purpose.
Work may include coaching elements for career or practical goals alongside emotional processing. Therapy can include different ways of working if welcomed by the client. Zayd is open to combining talking with creative or experiential practices to suit individual needs and preferences.
He works in English and sees clients based in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

Online support
A collaborative approach guides how the therapist and client choose methods. The counsellor will discuss options, try approaches together, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Finding the right fit is part of the process rather than a one‑time decision.
Online sessions give flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions or shorter live chat slots can fit a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Text‑based messaging supports ongoing check‑ins between meetings and can be useful for people who prefer writing to talk. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while matching different practical needs and communication styles.
