Edinson Zapata Castrillon, BACP

Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a London-licensed therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He integrates practical coping strategies with attention to motivation and confidence, helping clients address substance or compulsive behaviours as well as the emotional aftermath of difficult experiences. He is BACP registered, indicating membership in a recognised professional counselling association in the United Kingdom. He offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Edinson approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own story and already possesses strengths that can be mobilised for change. He works collaboratively to explore patterns linked to attachment, family of origin, communication difficulties, and issues such as control, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Beginning therapy can take courage, and Edinson acknowledges that step while providing a steady, respectful presence to help clients develop insight, build skills, and move toward greater wellbeing.

Approaches Edinson Uses for Online Support

Edinson draws on attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional response. This approach is useful for concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and difficulties forming close connections.

He also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths. By emphasising empathy, active listening, and collaboration, this method supports self-exploration and helps build motivation, confidence, and clearer decision making.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another approach he offers when emotional experience and relationship patterns are central to a person’s struggles. EFT helps identify and reorganise painful emotional responses so people can create more secure bonds and healthier interactions.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. Edinson works collaboratively with each person to choose or adapt approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and licensed professionals may blend methods as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Edinson is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support, coordinate appointments across locations, and continue therapeutic progress from wherever clients are located.
