Edinson Zapata Castrillon, BACP

Edinson Zapata Castrillon is a licensed therapist in London with four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, bringing a practical, empathetic approach to each client.

Edinson works from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to overcome current challenges. He offers support for related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication difficulties, family problems, substance misuse, and feelings of emptiness or shame, tailoring his approach to the needs that present in therapy.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Edinson acknowledges and honors that first step. He provides services in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients, aiming to create a collaborative environment where clients can build confidence, increase resilience, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Edinson draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, and relationship challenges. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on offering empathy, acceptance, and active listening so clients can discover their own solutions and build self-confidence. In addition, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions in the moment to repair connection and reduce emotional distress, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Edinson approaches that choice collaboratively. He will discuss goals, preferences, and needs with each client to shape a plan that feels like the best fit and adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of care, and integrate therapy into daily life with greater convenience.
