It's easiest to try this in a fight with a regular enemy and not a boss battle. Wait until the enemy attacks and use RT to deflect his attack, after that immediately start a combo to get the enemy towards the edge. If you can knock him off the edge at the end of the combo the achievement will unlock.
If you did not unlock it early in the game, you will automatically get it after the boss battle in the throne room (near the end), because you can't hurt the boss there, so the game will think that you defeated the boss without attacking first.

Yes, I can confirm that the achievement will unlock after the boss battle in the throne room. I can't get the achievement in fight with regular enemy.

When you encounter an enemy, the fight scene will begin. Let the enemy approach you, when they attack, press to deflect the attack. After deflecting, begin a combo and push the enemy towards the end of the platform. When they are at the end of the platform, keep tapping and you'll push the enemy off. As long as you begin every combo with a deflect, the achievement should unlock.

The best place to get this is in the final fight with the King. When you start to push him towards the throne, this is the only time in this fight you can get this trophy. Once you’re at the point where you’re about to push him against the throne, deflect one of his attacks and then counter-attack. During the cutscene after the fight is finished, you’ll get this trophy.
