About Zaid
Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, steady space for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He works in a person-centred way and focuses on what you want to change. Sessions are aimed at helping you make sense of what’s happening and build on your own strengths.
He uses straightforward conversation to help with grief, coping with addictions, self-esteem and career worries. Zaid also supports people dealing with trauma, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges linked to parenting or family life. He pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and control issues can affect day-to-day choices.
His practice draws on a few practical approaches. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thinking and change small behaviours. Mindfulness work teaches simple ways to be less overwhelmed by strong feelings. Solution-focused techniques aim to identify useful next steps and build momentum.
Zaid has worked in the field for five years and brings that experience into brief, goal-focused work as well as longer conversations. He speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and sees people in the United Kingdom. He also helps people who are coping with natural or human-caused disaster-related stress.
Beginning therapy with Zaid involves a short matching process and arranging sessions to suit your schedule. He writes in plain language and prioritises a non-judgemental approach so people can work at their own pace.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and supporting you to make your own choices. Online sessions using this approach are often conversational and aim to create a steady, respectful space for people to talk through problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. Delivered remotely, CBT can include brief practical exercises and homework that fit around daily life, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm. In online sessions this can mean short guided exercises and real-time coaching on using mindfulness during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your goals and preferences, and will adapt techniques as you go. This is a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day, fewer travel needs and the ability to attend from different locations within the United Kingdom. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can range from shorter check-ins to longer therapeutic conversations, depending on what you and the therapist agree will help most.
