Zaid Kazi, BACP

Zaid Kazi is a BACP registered person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He offers a calm and non-judgemental space where people can talk through worries at their own pace. Zaid uses straightforward, respectful listening to help people feel heard before moving on to practical changes.

He works with a wide range of everyday difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and challenges linked to trauma and abuse. Thoughts and everyday habits are a focus in sessions when relevant to the person’s goals.

Zaid uses simple, evidence-informed approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness exercises. Sessions often look at unhelpful thought patterns and small habit changes that can make daily life feel easier. He aims to keep work practical and relevant to day-to-day demands.

With five years of experience he has worked with people facing life changes, burnout, compassion fatigue, and issues like ADHD, bipolar and substance use. He believes clients are the experts in their own lives and that therapy helps build on existing strengths.

People can expect a warm collaborative style that balances listening with straightforward tools. Zaid encourages small steps and clear goals, and he supports people as they test new ways of coping between sessions.

Approaches that suit online work and everyday life

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most and helps people notice their own strengths. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot thinking patterns and try small behaviour changes that affect daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and bring moments of calm.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together they will choose or combine methods that fit the person's needs and day-to-day routine rather than imposing a single way of working.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel time and allowing appointments during breaks. It can also let people use brief mindfulness exercises between meetings and try homework tasks in their usual surroundings. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and what formats are offered.
