About Edinson
Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with adults who are carrying hard feelings such as guilt and shame, and with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and depression.
Edinson views clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on individual strengths. Sessions usually involve talking through what matters most right now, noticing patterns, and practising small shifts that can change how a person copes day to day.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. That can help when abandonment, attachment issues or family of origin problems keep repeating themselves. He also uses client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working to slow things down and name difficult emotions as they arise.
Existential ideas sometimes shape conversations about meaning, identity and control when those questions feel urgent. Mindfulness practices are used in short, practical ways to help with grounding and noticing thoughts without getting lost in them. The work tends to be straightforward - clear goals, short experiments, and regular reflection.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. For people coming from different countries, he accepts international clients and asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire before a first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online work
Edinson uses attachment-based ideas to look at the ways early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when patterns around abandonment, attachment issues or family problems keep repeating themselves. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and express core emotions in the moment, which can change how they respond to guilt, shame and conflict.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to decide which approaches feel most helpful, and adjusts the focus as goals and needs change. That process is practical and conversational rather than prescriptive.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online sessions to maintain regular contact and to continue exercises such as mindfulness practice and emotion-focused interventions between meetings.
