About Zaid

Zaid Kazi is a BACP registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship challenges. Zaid also supports clients facing grief, trauma and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

He uses practical, structured methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments to test different ways of responding. Zaid draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred listening and mindfulness to keep sessions focused and useful.

People can expect a direct but respectful approach that encourages them to notice patterns and try alternatives. Zaid explains ideas plainly and works at a pace the client chooses. He aims to build on each person's strengths while addressing problems such as sleeping difficulties, anger, or addictive behaviours.

His background includes work with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, divorce and separation, and coping with life changes. He also lists experience with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are conducted from the United Kingdom and are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu. Zaid does not accept international clients. To begin, users follow the site's matching process and schedule an initial session.

How his approaches adapt to online counselling

Zaid commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred counselling and mindfulness practice when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours through small exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Client-centred counselling centres on attentive listening and reflecting the client's perspective to help them clarify priorities and make choices. Mindfulness offers simple breathing and attention skills to reduce reactivity and support calmer thinking.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Zaid will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. He reviews what works and adjusts the plan over time so the sessions stay practical and goal-focused.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online counselling can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid camera use when needed, or choose quieter times that suit work or family schedules. Confirm the current session formats before booking to ensure they match your needs.
