Edinson Zapata Castrillon

Edinson Zapata Castrillon welcomes people who are worried about stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with addiction. He presents a calm, direct way of working and aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices. He speaks English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom. Edinson holds BACP and has four years of professional experience.

Edinson approaches work with the idea that each person knows their own story best. He listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in someone’s life. Sessions focus on practical ways to respond to anxious or low moods, and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.

His practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationships and how early patterns affect current feelings. He also uses client-centred and emotionally focused ways of working to help people feel heard and to deepen emotional understanding. Mindfulness and existential ideas are used to help with present-moment coping and life meaning where useful.

In a typical session Edinson will aim to create a calm space to talk through immediate worries and to try new ways of coping. He checks in about goals and adapts the pace to what someone needs. The focus can range from improving body image and self-esteem to working through trauma-related reactions.

Starting is done through a simple process on the site. A short questionnaire helps match people to a therapist and then sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How Edinson’s approaches fit into online work

Edinson draws on attachment-based ideas which look at how early relationship patterns shape present feelings and behaviour; this can help with relationship pain, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. He also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting, helping people feel understood and heard before making changes. Emotionally-focused elements support exploring strong feelings and working through difficult emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then choose methods that match those aims. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations without being on camera if that suits you better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as mindfulness exercises, emotionally-focused conversation and attachment-based reflection to remote sessions to help you apply what you learn into everyday life.
