About Edinson
Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He acknowledges how hard it can be to take the first step and offers a calm, steady presence for those starting out. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Edinson believes each person knows their story best and brings that perspective into sessions. He uses that to help people notice strengths and practical ways to move forward. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual at that moment.
His approach draws on several therapy methods, including attachment-based work, emotionally-focused techniques and mindfulness. These help with relationship patterns, intense emotions and staying grounded when stress feels overwhelming. Sessions are paced to suit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed template.
With four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Edinson combines familiarity with common struggles and a respectful, listening style. He encourages curiosity about patterns that keep causing pain, and small, manageable steps to change.

How his approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online sessions can help people notice repeating patterns, practice new responses and build safer ways of relating to others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets strong emotions in relationships and helps people understand and reorganise their emotional responses, which can reduce intense reactivity and create clearer communication.Mindfulness therapy helps people build simple habits for staying present and reducing overwhelm. Practices are brief and can be used between sessions to manage stress or cravings. The therapist combines these approaches to match what each person needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints and then suggest ways of proceeding. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress unfolds.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. The online setting can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, drop into a short check-in at lunchtime, or avoid travel time. It also allows people to continue work when location or schedules change, while keeping the focus on what they want to achieve.
