Zayd Awan, BACP

Zayd Awan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing jealousy alongside a wide range of emotional and relationship concerns. He combines practical conversation with gentle exploration so people can understand what is happening and make changes that fit their life. Zayd presents himself plainly and aims to create space for honest talk and steady progress.

He has five years of practice and holds BACP registration, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs how he works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addiction issues and relationship worries. He also supports people dealing with complex themes such as attachment, abandonment, narcissism and intimacy-related issues.

Zayd describes therapy as both practical and expansive. Sessions may include talking through patterns, developing coping strategies and noticing how past experiences shape current feelings. He is open to using expressive methods when clients welcome them, such as breath or movement work and reflective exercises that connect feelings to actions.

He also addresses lifestyle and wellbeing topics like sleep, eating, career pressures and compassion fatigue. For people navigating kink, BDSM and alternative sexual cultures he provides a nonjudgemental space to talk about boundaries, communication and trust. Zayd aims to help people discover clearer ways to relate and live.

For those unsure how to begin, he suggests a simple first step: a short matching process followed by arranging sessions that fit practical needs. He works in English and accepts international clients, and session arrangements are confirmed during booking.

Approaches that guide online work

Many of Zayd's methods combine practical talk with experiential elements. He often uses conversational work that helps identify repeating patterns, teaches simple coping strategies and sets small, achievable goals for daily life. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, jealousy and relationship difficulties by focusing on what a person can try between sessions.

He is also open to incorporating expressive techniques such as breath or movement exercises and reflective practices when clients are interested. These methods can support regulation, increase body awareness and offer different ways to process strong feelings or past experiences.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. This can mean starting with straightforward conversation and then trying exercises or practical homework if that seems helpful.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also make ongoing contact simpler for people living abroad, while practical arrangements are agreed at booking.
