Zayd Awan

I'm a holistic therapist with 8 years experience. Therapy and inner-work present personal struggles, and yet also are portals into the grand adventure of the richness of life. We will work through your concerns with safety and care, and also open the empowerment to know and live through the whole spectrum of what you are. If welcomed, we can explore breathwork, energy work, song, sound, yoga, massage, movement/dance, philosophy/reasoning, imagination and dreams, psychodrama, nature work, sexuality. Learning new ways to live, heal, relate, think and enjoy ourselves in this dramatic existence we all find ourselves in.

My work is based on developing a strong sense of attunement, safety, trust, and enjoyment of the process of therapy, opening up the possibility of creativity and wonder whilst working at the root causes of issues with care and skill.

My initial undergraduate training was in philosophy, following into a doctoral training in existential psychotherapy. I continually train to advance a more holistic practice so I can work dynamically with any kind of place a person may find themselves in . I have had trainings in Focusing, Internal Family Systems, Jungian Psychotherapy, Process-orientated psychology, Hakomi therapy, transactional analysis, Taoist energy healing, ashtanga yoga, Zen Buddhism, Dance movement therapy and eco therapy.
