About Zaid
Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction issues, relationship strain and parenting challenges. He also works with people facing grief, trauma, intimacy concerns and difficulties with self-esteem.
Zaid uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s perspective first. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what the client wants to address. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution-focused ideas to set manageable goals.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with sleep, anxiety and anger by developing simple present-moment skills. For those affected by traumatic experience, trauma-focused work is available that focuses on safety and stabilisation before moving on to memories and meaning.
People often come for practical help with parenting strains, blended family issues, or communication and commitment problems. Zaid also supports those dealing with substance misuse, codependency, body image concerns and career-related stress. He describes the client as the expert in their own life and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.
Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu. Zaid uses a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and asks clients to schedule an initial meeting using the online booking flow. Costs vary by location and are charged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches offered and how they work online
Zaid combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, depending on what the client needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s own concerns so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that can reduce rumination, improve sleep and ease anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Zaid will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest a way of working. He adjusts the mix of listening, practical exercises and goal-setting as sessions progress so the plan fits what the client needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy around family life, shorter breaks at work, or times when it is easier to meet without travelling. Many people find it easier to use sessions for quick check-ins, structured skill practice or focused problem-solving when life is busy. Registered and accredited professionals can guide how to shape sessions to fit everyday routines and responsibilities.
