About Edward

Edward Chatham is a psychodynamic psychotherapist with three years' practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works from London and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self‑esteem and ADHD, with attention to how these issues affect relationships and daily life.

He draws on psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas to help people understand recurring patterns in feelings and behaviour. Sessions look at how early experiences and unconscious themes influence current relationships at home and work. The work often involves reflecting on feelings, memories and how they repeat in day-to-day interactions.

Edward sees adults with a range of difficulties, including personality and attachment concerns, experiences of abandonment, and issues linked to adoption and foster care. He also supports people dealing with substance issues, eating and body image worries, and the effects of divorce or separation.

In practice he pays attention to how neurodivergence and autism traits can shape emotional responses and relationship styles. That means conversations consider sensory, communication and routine factors as they relate to mood and anxiety.

People can expect a steady, exploratory style that looks for meaning behind symptoms and patterns. Sessions aim to make repeated difficulties clearer so a person can try new ways of relating. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How psychodynamic and Jungian work translates to online sessions

Psychodynamic work looks at repeating emotional patterns and how past relationships shape present behaviour. In practice this means talking about feelings, dreams or memories and linking them to current stresses and relationship challenges.

Jungian-influenced work pays attention to symbols, personal myths and the parts of self a person may notice or avoid. This can be useful for people wanting to explore identity, recurring dreams or deep emotional states alongside anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach happens in collaboration. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and practical needs, then test ways of working together. That may involve adjusting focus from day-to-day coping to deeper exploratory work as the therapy develops.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care when life is otherwise disruptive, while the therapist and client decide together how sessions will be arranged and what pace to follow.
