Edinson Zapata-Castrillon

I offer a 15 minutes free telephone consultation to discuss the reasons why you are seeking counselling, to introduce myself and the way I work.

I am currently available to see new clients. My hours of work are:

Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 18:00 to 22:00

Saturdays from 09:00 to 17:00

Sundays in special circumstances

My name is Edinson, and I am an experienced counsellor working with adults and couples, offering a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which emotional, psychological, and relational difficulties can be explored. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, trauma, bereavement, loss, relationship challenges, and identity-related concerns. I also work with individuals navigating life transitions, work pressures, and long-standing emotional patterns that affect wellbeing. My practice is grounded in a strong ethical framework, supported by ongoing supervision and professional development.

I have significant experience working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse in childhood or adulthood. I approach this work with sensitivity and a trauma-informed perspective, recognising the lasting emotional and relational impact of these experiences. Therapy is carefully paced according to each client’s readiness, with safety and collaboration central to the process. I aim to create an environment where clients feel heard and respected, enabling them to build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centred. I draw on relational, psychodynamic, attachment-informed, and mindfulness-based perspectives to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. I also work with couples using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, an evidence-based, attachment-focused model that helps partners change negative interaction cycles and strengthen emotional bonds.

In addition, I work with addiction and addictive behaviours, including alcohol and drug misuse, co-dependency, and behavioural addictions such as gambling, internet use, sex, food, smoking, and work addiction. I understand addiction within a broader emotional context, recognising links with trauma, shame, attachment patterns, and self-worth. I work collaboratively with clients to build insight and support meaningful change.

Therapy That Puts You at the Centre

My approach is client-centred, meaning you lead the sessions and set the pace. I will be there to support, guide, and reflect with you, while respecting your autonomy and personal boundaries.

Our work is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs — whether you are seeking clarity, emotional relief, self-acceptance, or meaningful change.

I also offer therapy in Spanish, providing a space where you can express yourself in the language that feels most natural and comfortable to you.

Your First Session

Your first session is a chance for us to connect and see if working together feels right. We will talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain, and how I work.

I will also clearly explain practical details such as fees, session frequency, and scheduling — so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

Take the First Step

You don’t need to have all the answers before starting therapy. You just need a safe place to begin.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to understand yourself better, I invite you to reach out.
