Hi there, I’m Zaid. Many of the people I work with have spent most of their lives adapting & shifting themselves to fit family, culture, work, or whatever space they’re in. It creates a particular kind of tiredness that comes from always trying to make sense of where you belong. If you’re neurodivergent, from a mixed or migrant background, or just carrying more than people realise, you might know that feeling well. I know something of that in-between space myself. It’s part of what brought me into therapy work, and it shapes how I sit with people. I integrate the person-centred approach and emotion-focused practice.
I work relationally and person-centred, which means:
• I don’t push an agenda or tell you who you should become
• I follow your pace, not the fastest or the one you think you should be at
• I’m attentive to culture, identity, power, and the ways we learn to survive
• I hold space for complexity, contradiction, and all the parts you’ve had to hide
People often come to me because they’re exhausted from holding everything together. They want somewhere they don’t have to perform. Somewhere to rest and to explore who they are beneath all of the adapting.
If something in this speaks to you, I’d be glad to meet and see whether this feels like a place you can land for a while.
