Edinson Zapata Castrillon, BACP

Edinson Zapata Castrillon helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or struggles with addiction. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Edinson works in English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP, which indicates a professional counselling accreditation. Edinson frames the work around each person’s story and strengths. He believes clients are the experts on their lives and that therapy is a collaborative process. Sessions are conversational and aim to build understanding about patterns such as attachment, avoidance or unhelpful coping strategies. He draws on approaches that include attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work and client-centred listening. That mix helps to look at relationships, emotional responses and the values that matter to someone. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are available when people want to explore meaning, presence and day-to-day awareness. Over four years of practice Edinson has supported people with trauma, abuse, family of origin issues and difficulties around trust and self-worth. He also helps those dealing with guilt, shame, body image concerns and problems linked to drug or alcohol use. Taking the first step can feel hard and Edinson acknowledges that. He aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters and set realistic steps toward change.

Approaches and how online sessions can help

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect how someone connects now and can help with problems like fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person find their own pace for change, which is useful for low self-esteem and making choices. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) centres on understanding and naming emotions and can be helpful for people trying to manage anxiety, grief or intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is usually a process. Edinson will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps and adjusting together over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to work with a bilingual therapist when English or Spanish is preferred. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you start the matching process.
