Edinson Zapata Castrillon
A calm, practical counsellor for anxiety and addiction
About Edinson
Edinson Zapata Castrillon welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or struggles with addiction. He explains things simply and focuses on practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. He speaks English and Spanish and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Edinson sees each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and aim to help people regain a sense of control, confidence and purpose.
Background and approach
He encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time. His approach draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client.
Emotionally-focused ideas inform his way of helping people notice and respond to strong feelings. Edinson has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. He has supported people with depression, self-esteem difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a range of relationship and identity concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.
Practical issues like drug and alcohol addiction, dissociation, domestic violence, body image, guilt and shame are within his focus areas. He offers therapy in formats that suit different needs, helping people choose the style and pace that work best for them.

How his approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of trust and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping clients find their own solutions; this approach supports people who need space to reflect and set their own pace. Emotionally-focused techniques help people recognise and respond to strong feelings, which can be useful for tackling anxiety, grief and relationship pain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That conversation shapes whether sessions lean more towards attachment, client-centred reflection or emotion-focused practices, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers a range of practical options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face connection and reading non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or need shorter check-ins. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and at different times, giving flexibility to fit counselling into a busy life.
