About Edinson

Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He focuses on people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, using language people can follow.

Edinson believes clients know their own story and brings a practical, steady approach to sessions. He aims to help people notice patterns that make life harder and to practise different ways of responding. In conversation he points out strengths and small steps that build on those strengths.

He uses approaches rooted in relationships and emotions, including attachment-based work and emotionally-focused techniques. These methods look at how past connections shape present reactions and how to name and work with feelings in the moment. He also draws on client-centred principles that prioritise the person’s perspective and on mindfulness to develop present-moment awareness.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Edinson pays attention to what feels most urgent and what can change with modest, repeatable practice. He helps people talk through issues such as abandonment, family of origin problems, control difficulties, communication problems and codependency.

He runs sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work remotely

Edinson draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when patterns of mistrust, avoidance or clinging get in the way of daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with feelings in the moment to change unhelpful interaction patterns and reduce emotional overwhelm. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre and supports them to make sense of decisions and values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Edinson will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel and keep check-ins shorter when needed. It also allows sessions in English or Spanish and makes it possible for some people to continue with therapy if they move or live abroad. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often find these practical benefits helpful when planning ongoing work.
