Zaid Kazi, BACP

Zaid Kazi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and feelings of low self-worth. He works in a calm, non-judgemental way and encourages clients to move at a pace that feels right for them. Zaid uses a person-centred stance and speaks English, Hindi and Urdu to support conversation and understanding.

He draws on five years of experience working with people facing depression, grief and addiction. He also supports those dealing with intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and major life changes. Zaid pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and codependency patterns can shape current behaviour and relationships.

In sessions he focuses on helping people notice their strengths and make small practical changes. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot thought patterns and try different reactions. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and anxious moments.

Zaid also works with trauma-informed ideas to keep conversations grounded and paced to the client's needs. Solution-focused strategies are used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented work to manage a particular issue. His BACP credential is shown as BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

He encourages people to think of therapy as a collaborative process. New clients are invited to take a few small steps first and then build on what helps them most. The emphasis is on practical progress and steady, respectful support.

How Zaid’s approaches translate to online counselling

Zaid combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques to help people handle everyday challenges. Person-centred work means the conversation centres on what matters to the client and moves at their pace, which supports issues like low self-esteem and relationship worry. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and sleeping problems. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt techniques to fit what the client wants. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and useful from the start.

If you plan to use online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means techniques like guided mindfulness or CBT homework can be reviewed straight away in session so people can practise between meetings and track progress.
