About Edinson

Edinson Zapata Castrillon welcomes men seeking support for stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people who want a calm, practical space to talk through what feels overwhelming. He encourages small, manageable steps and acknowledges the bravery it takes to begin therapy.

He believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that their existing strengths help them move forward. Sessions focus on listening carefully and building understanding of difficult patterns, such as attachment or codependency, that can shape relationships and self‑view. The work is conversational and rooted in what matters to the person in front of him.

Edinson draws on several approaches to guide sessions depending on the issue and the person. This can include Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns, Client-Centred methods that follow the client’s lead, and Emotionally-Focused techniques to clarify feelings and repair connection. He also uses mindfulness and existential themes to help people find meaning and calmer ways to cope.

With four years of professional experience, he has supported people through trauma, substance concerns, domestic violence impacts and struggles with guilt or shame. His BACP credential is listed as part of his background. He aims for straightforward conversations that focus on what will help now.

If you want to start, he asks you to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How his approaches can work online

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and practise different ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-Centred therapy places the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings, helping them to make sense of feelings and decide next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and move through core emotions so that relationships and self-understanding feel steadier.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as different issues are addressed and new goals emerge.

Practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know whether video, phone or other options are available. The emphasis is on making therapy fit your life rather than asking you to reshape your routine.
