About Edward
Edward Chatham is a psychodynamic psychotherapist who draws on Psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas in his work. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers talking therapy to adults in the United Kingdom. Edward aims to help people who are dealing with anxiety and depression and the strain these bring to everyday life.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what is happening now and what keeps the same patterns repeating.
Background and approach
Edward pays attention to emotions, past experiences and how people relate to others. He helps clients notice patterns that affect their mood, self-esteem and reactions to stress. Edward has three years of clinical experience working with adults who report a range of difficulties, including ADHD and personality-related problems.
He also supports people facing issues tied to family of origin, adoption and abandonment, and relationship breakdowns. His background includes study of both Psychoanalytic and Jungian theories, which shape how he listens and responds. In conversation he aims to make complex ideas plain.
Sessions can explore feelings of emptiness, struggles with commitment, or worries about body image and addiction. Edward works with the practical effects of these issues on family life and the workplace rather than offering quick fixes. His practice uses a mix of longer reflective work and more focused short-term support when needed.
People can expect calm, direct conversation and help in finding new ways to cope with stress, low mood and anxiety.
How psychodynamic work and online sessions fit together
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on feelings, relationships and repeated life patterns. It helps people understand how past experiences and unconscious expectations shape current reactions to stress, anxiety and low mood. Psychoanalytic ideas look at early patterns and recurring themes, while Jungian notions can help make sense of symbols, dreams or personal narratives in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns and suggest ways of working that suit your goals. Together you can try a reflective, longer-term style or a more focused short-term plan, and adjust as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the move, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or when writing helps you think. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel and to maintain continuity when life is busy.
