About Edinson
Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and low mood. He welcomes straightforward conversations and aims to make the first steps feel less daunting. He uses everyday language and short, practical sessions to help people feel understood and get clearer about what they want to change.
Edinson works from the view that each person knows their life best. He listens for strengths and patterns that can be used to build steadier coping.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on feelings, relationships and what happens day to day, not on technical jargon or exams. His work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. That means Edinson pays attention to emotions, bonding patterns, and the immediate needs a person brings into the room.
He guides people to notice difficult feelings and to try different ways of responding to them. He also uses ideas from mindfulness and existential thinking to help with meaning, presence and stress management. Mindfulness practices are kept simple and practical for busy lives.
Existential questions are explored at a pace that suits the person, not pushed as a requirement. Edinson has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers sessions in English and Spanish and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Online support
Emotion, attachment and online support
Edinson draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong feelings, and to use those feelings as a guide for change. EFT is often used when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns replay in relationships, and it helps people respond to feelings rather than react automatically.He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonding patterns shape current reactions. This approach highlights how safety and connection affect stress, anxiety and coping, and it supports people who want to change long-standing interaction habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edinson will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together choose methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus more on emotions, on relationships, or on practical tools.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions are lighter on bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones.
