Zaid Kazi

Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor who aims to make the first step feel manageable. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief and other struggles. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on practical ways to cope day to day.

He uses a person-centred style that puts the client’s experience first. That means listening carefully, reflecting what’s said, and helping people find their own solutions. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them.

Mindfulness practices are used to bring attention into the present and reduce overwhelm. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and notice what is already working. Trauma-focused methods are included when past events are affecting current life.

Across five years of work in the United Kingdom, he has helped people with depression, addiction, relationship concerns, bereavement and coping with life changes. He also supports those facing issues such as sleep and eating problems, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Languages offered are English, Hindi and Urdu.

To begin, clients follow a short matching process and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. Sessions are provided under a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International work is not accepted at present.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred work focuses on being heard and understood. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what a person says and helps them lead the conversation. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioural experiments. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and coping with stressful situations.

Mindfulness practices teach simple exercises to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. These tools can help with overwhelm, sleep issues and emotional regulation.

Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss goals and try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative exploration means plans can change as needed to suit the person's preferences and progress.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt these methods to work well at a distance.
