Edinson Zapata Castrillon , BACP

Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a London-based therapist with four years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He brings a practical, person-focused approach that emphasizes clients own knowledge of their lives and the strengths they already possess to navigate difficult moments.

Trained as a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - he blends approaches that attend to emotional experience, attachment patterns, and the here-and-now relationship between therapist and client. He has worked with issues ranging from motivation and confidence to more complex concerns such as substance use and traumatic experiences, offering a steady, empathic presence as clients explore change.

Edinson frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the individual is the expert of their story and the therapist provides guidance, tools, and a supportive space for growth. He recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and validates the decision to seek help, encouraging each person to take the next step when they feel ready.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for emotional healing

Edinson integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients work through relational patterns and emotional pain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day connections and can be helpful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, or patterns of closeness and distance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support to build self-trust and improve self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and process strong emotions in the moment, supporting deeper emotional awareness and healthier relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Edinson works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors sessions to each person's situation and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds, inviting clients to be active partners in planning their care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and continue work consistently, even when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt techniques to these formats to maintain meaningful, effective therapeutic work.
