About Edinson
Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma or low self-worth. He meets people where they are and helps them find practical ways to feel steadier. He works in both English and Spanish and offers sessions online to people inside and outside the United Kingdom.
Edinson believes clients are the experts in their own lives.
How Edinson works
He helps people identify their strengths and use them to face difficult patterns. In sessions he listens closely, reflects what he hears, and supports practical steps towards change. His work draws on approaches that focus on emotional bonds and present experience.
That includes attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused ways of working, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. These approaches are used to address areas such as relationships, addiction, dissociation and problems with self-image. With four years of professional experience and a BACP registration, Edinson has supported people through grief, depression, feelings of emptiness and family-of-origin struggles.
He also helps with issues like avoidance, codependency and control problems that keep people stuck. People who choose him can expect a collaborative, respectful style. He will help you set goals, try different ways of coping, and review what is or is not working.
Taking the first step can be hard, and he acknowledges that effort while working at a pace that suits each person.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions give space to talk about connection and repair, helping clients notice patterns in current relationships and learn new ways to respond.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and supports the client to find their own solutions; this works well across video, phone and messaging formats.
Emotionally-focused ideas help people identify and move through strong feelings to change unhelpful interaction cycles. These methods can be used in online sessions to practise new ways of expressing needs and to build emotional clarity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try different ways of working to find what fits. That decision is made together and can be revisited as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat allow brief check-ins and written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping continuity of care across time zones.
