About Zayd

Zayd Awan helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem and relationship concerns using a mix of talking work and expressive practices. He is a BACP member and has five years' experience working with a wide range of personal and life issues.

Zayd uses conversation alongside experiential methods when a client wants them. He mentions breathwork, movement and imaginative work as options to support talking therapy. Sessions aim to look at everyday patterns, emotional responses and practical steps people can try between meetings.

He works with matters such as grief, addictions, sexuality and intimacy-related issues, and common life changes like career shifts and parenting strain. Zayd also lists focus areas that include attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency and issues often framed as men's concerns.

His approach is described as personal and exploratory. He invites clients to notice how feelings show up in the body and to practice new ways of relating and thinking. When appropriate he offers movement, breath or creative exercises alongside discussion.

Zayd practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP as a stated credential. He works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats available.

Therapeutic methods used and how online sessions work

Zayd describes a blend of conversational therapy and experiential practices. Breathwork is a simple, paced breathing method that can help people notice their bodily responses and reduce intensity of stress or anxiety. Movement and somatic exercises involve gentle guided actions to help people recognise feelings in the body and try new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with the client and decide together what fits the person's goals and preferences, adapting methods over time based on what helps most.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel. The profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, reduce time spent travelling and allow people to join from different locations, which can help maintain continuity of care when life is changeable.
