About Zaid
BACP. Five years' experience. Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. He uses client-centred and solution-focused ways of working and describes himself as someone who listens and works at the pace clients prefer.
Zaid supports people dealing with depression, grief, loss and trauma-related problems. He also addresses difficulties with self-esteem, intimacy, eating and sleeping, and career-related strain. He lists ADHD, compassion fatigue and bipolar among areas he has worked with in practice.
In sessions he follows client-centred principles, which means conversations focus on the person rather than on an external agenda. He also uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural work and solution-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try different coping steps. Zaid includes mindfulness elements to help with grounding and attention.
He says people bring strengths that can be useful in change work, and he aims to help them notice those strengths while they try new approaches. He notes experience helping with substance and alcohol problems, domestic violence aftermath, and separation or divorce concerns.
Zaid offers counselling in English and also speaks Hindi and Urdu. He asks people to use the site button to view the online counselling options, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a conversational setting where the client leads the topics. This approach is useful for people wanting someone to listen and reflect back what they say. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be helpful for stress and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more towards reflective listening, practical CBT tasks or mindfulness exercises.
Confirm the current session options before you book as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at busy moments, or offering audio options when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often find that therapeutic progress can be made through remote sessions when approaches and practical arrangements suit the person.
