About Edinson
Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress and anxiety. He also helps those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He begins by listening to each person's story and recognising the strengths they already have. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on what is working.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on real concerns you bring to the room. Edinson uses approaches that centre on relationships and feelings. He draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how early bonds affect current reactions.
He uses emotionally-focused tools to help people notice and name hard emotions so they become easier to manage. He also uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to support practical changes. That means helping clients find clearer ways to make choices, calm the mind, and respond differently to stress.
The work mixes talking, reflection and simple exercises to try between sessions. With four years of experience, Edinson aims to create a calm and steady working pace. He encourages small, achievable steps rather than big leaps.
If you are nervous about starting, he acknowledges the courage it takes and helps you plan the next session together.
How relational and mindful approaches work online
Edinson often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach looks at patterns such as anxiety around closeness or fear of abandonment and helps people understand and change those patterns in day-to-day life.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which focuses on noticing, naming and responding to strong feelings. That can help when anxiety, shame or past hurt block clear thinking and get in the way of relationships or self-care.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit personal preferences and needs. Expectations and methods can be adjusted as the work develops so the client remains involved in decisions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when a lower bandwidth option or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief updates between sessions, or want a way to reflect slowly before replying. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible around work, family and travel commitments.
