Zayd Awan, BACP

Zayd Awan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About Zayd

Zayd Awan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship difficulties and questions about identity. He writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel like a practical conversation rather than a lecture.

Zayd uses an open, holistic style that can include breathwork, movement, music and imagination when useful. He offers practical tools for coping with change, addictive behaviours, low self-esteem and periods of intense grief or burnout.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what feels relevant to the person in front of him. With five years' experience, he brings direct, hands-on work to sessions. That experience includes supporting people with intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

He also addresses attachment and abandonment themes that commonly shape relationships. Zayd pays attention to the whole person. He may invite creative practices such as song, psychodrama or nature work alongside talking.

These are offered only if the client welcomes them and they fit the goals of therapy. People who choose him often want practical changes and greater self-understanding. Therapy aims to help with everyday coping, clearer communication and rebuilding energy for daily life.

Zayd works with each person to find approaches that suit their needs and preferences.

Approaches that combine talking with body and creative work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can include straightforward talk therapy focused on thoughts and feelings. This helps with anxiety, depression and problem-solving in daily life by identifying patterns and testing new behaviours. Somatic and creative methods such as breathwork, movement or guided imagery add a body-focused element and can help with trauma, stress regulation and emotional release.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try things out together, adjusting methods to fit your goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative process helps decide whether more talking, somatic practice or creative exercises will be most helpful.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see body language and use visual materials, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or want ongoing brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and keep continuity when life is busy.
