Edinson Zapata Castrillon, BACP

Edinson Zapata Castrillon welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or struggles with addiction. He writes in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make the first steps into therapy as simple as possible. He believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening approach to each meeting.

Edinson works from a mix of relational and reflective methods. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. He draws on emotionally focused techniques to help people identify and name strong feelings. Mindfulness practices are used to build steadiness and lessen reactivity in daily life.

His background includes four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience covers common and complex concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, stress management, self-esteem, and drug and alcohol addiction. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and body image worries.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish and can suit people living in different countries. Edinson aims to match his style to each person, working at a pace that feels manageable and practical. He focuses on clear conversation, noticing patterns, and finding small changes that make a real difference.

People can expect a collaborative, warm tone and steady curiosity. He encourages reflection alongside practical skills so clients leave with both understanding and tools to cope better.

How attachment and emotion-focused work translate online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Online sessions can be used to explore those patterns and try out different ways of relating while talking through real-life situations. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify core feelings and express them more clearly to themselves and others, which can reduce recurring conflict and inner turmoil.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase calm. These exercises translate well to online formats and can be practised between sessions to build steadiness over time. The therapist will discuss these approaches with clients and together they will decide which methods fit best for the goals and preferences of the person coming to therapy.

Online work offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is hard. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, daily reflections and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, travel or family life and make it easier to keep continuity when circumstances change.
