About Edinson

Counsellor (BACP) practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience, Edinson Zapata Castrillon helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He works in English and Spanish. Edinson frames the client as the expert in their own story and draws on their strengths during sessions.

Edinson focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now and how it affects day-to-day life. He encourages people to talk through patterns, notice how relationships and past hurts link to current problems, and find small steps that can reduce overwhelming feelings. He aims for clear, direct work rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

His approach combines attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused methods and client-centred practice. That means attention to relationships and feelings, plus a focus on the person in the room and what they want from therapy. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are also part of his toolkit when helpful.

Sessions may look like talking through recent events, reflecting on early relationship experiences, practising noticing emotions, or testing different responses to difficult situations. Edinson pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation, body image and how family of origin problems affect current choices.

People contact him for support with drug and alcohol issues, domestic violence aftermath, control and communication problems, guilt and shame, or feelings of emptiness. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in remote counselling and what to expect

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeated relationship problems by looking at how past connections influence present reactions.

Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's experience in the session. The therapist listens closely, follows what the client brings, and helps them find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem or decision-making struggles.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) looks directly at strong feelings and how they affect relationships and personal behaviour. It can be useful for understanding patterns of avoidance, codependency and intense emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edinson treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods as therapy progresses rather than committing to a single route from the start.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use a quieter environment, avoid video if preferred and fit therapy around work or family commitments.
