About Edinson
Counsellor BACP member Edinson Zapata Castrillon has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Edinson frames work around what each person brings. He treats the client as the expert on their life and helps people use their own strengths to tackle problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and gentle reflection rather than labels or tests.
His approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused methods to look at how relationships and feelings affect daily life. He also uses client-centred and existential elements to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their values. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of thoughts and sensations.
In a typical session he listens to what matters most, reflects on patterns, and suggests small, manageable ways to respond differently. He pays attention to how past experiences shape present responses, particularly around abandonment, attachment issues and family of origin problems.
People come for a range of concerns including addiction, body image, codependency, communication and control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, guilt and shame. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, follow the See online counselling options button and complete the short matching questionnaire.
Approaches used and how online counselling works
Edinson draws on attachment-based work to look at how early and close relationships affect feelings and reactions now. This can help when patterns of abandonment or insecure attachment make relationships hard to manage.He also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people identify, name and work with strong emotions. This approach fits issues like anxiety, trauma responses and relationship pain where feelings drive behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions in English or Spanish and supports working with a therapist who uses attachment, emotion-focused and mindfulness methods.
