About Edinson
Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on common early-adult pressures such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He speaks English and Spanish.
Edinson approaches therapy believing each person knows their story best. He helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to address what feels difficult. He encourages clear, honest conversation and practical steps rather than jargon or lengthy theory talks.
His practice draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ways of working to look at relationships and how people connect with others. He also uses client-centred techniques to keep sessions focused on the person's experience and priorities. Mindfulness ideas can be brought in to help with stress and anxiety.
Sessions are aimed at making thoughts and patterns easier to understand. Edinson helps people talk through feelings like emptiness, guilt, shame and problems with trust or control. He also supports people facing family of origin issues, communication problems and substance misuse concerns.
He offers practical support for young adults managing life changes - leaving home, starting work or education, relationships and identity questions. If someone prefers to work in English or Spanish, he can offer sessions in either language. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can focus on patterns in close relationships, exploring trust, abandonment concerns and attachment styles through conversation and reflection. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and shifting emotional responses in relationships. In remote sessions this means naming intense emotions, tracking moments when people withdraw or shut down, and practising new ways of responding in real time. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens, reflects and follows what the client brings so goals and direction emerge together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edinson will collaborate with the client to choose which ideas to use based on their goals, needs and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted if something isn’t helping so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The practical points of online sessions should be checked before booking as session formats are not specified here. Ask which formats are offered and choose what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study or work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for busy weeks. Confirm the session options when you match and schedule your first appointment.
