About me and my therapy practice
I am Edinson Zapata MBACP, a BACP qualified counsellor. I am a registered member of the BACP (MBACP). I work with clients experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties to help them bring about effective change and/or enhance their wellbeing. Clients could have issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, loss or relationship difficulties that are affecting their ability to manage life.
I can provide counselling in Spanish and English.

Practice description
I'm a counsellor who brings calm and peacefulness into the chaotic and hectic situations of modern times. I am able to maintain the calm and serenity required when dealing with issues and experiences that could bring painful feelings and overwhelming emotions. I use a Person-Centred approach to counselling. I believe that everyone has the innate ability to resolve their psycho-emotional issues and decide on the best direction to take in order to live a happy and fulfilling life. I can create the right environment so that each individual can explore the best way to achieve this for themselves.
I was born in Colombia. I am bilingual with Spanish being my second language. This gives me the advantage of being able to provide counselling in both English and Spanish. My experience in counselling is mainly with people who have suffered childhood trauma and with issues of addiction. I can delve deeply into a person’s narrative in order for them to bring out and identify their fears and emotions, so that they can deal with them in a healthy and secure environment. I've learnt that when these fears and emotions are identified, it is then easier to work towards a resolution.
I specialise in Person-Centred counselling. I'm a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

About me and my therapy practice
I am person centred counsellor who will give you support and guide you through the feelings you experience. I like to see how you were brought up in order to get an understanding of your personality. I will help you to explore your feelings and untangle any thoughts that might be making you anxious or depressed. I work in a client centred format. This means that while I will be there to guide you through your thought process you will decide the way the sessions will flow.
I also speak Spanish so we can carry out our sessions in Spanish if you prefer.
