About Edward

Edward Chatham is a psychodynamic psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in the United Kingdom and talks plainly with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression and ADHD. He aims to make therapy easy to understand and approachable for worried parents and busy adults.

Edward blends ideas from psychoanalytic and Jungian perspectives to look at patterns that repeat in people’s lives.

02

How Edward works

He pays attention to how early relationships and personal history show up in current worries. Sessions focus on noticing those patterns and making small changes that feel manageable. With three years of experience, he has supported adults with a range of concerns including attachment issues, family of origin problems, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and difficulties linked to neurodivergence.

He also works with people facing addiction, eating issues, body image struggles and relationship breakups. Sessions explore how feelings and past experiences affect everyday choices. Edward uses a reflective pace so people can talk through painful memories and confusing emotions without being rushed.

He helps clients see connections between past and present, then find practical ways to cope. Therapy can be delivered in several online formats to suit different needs. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions in line with the therapist’s availability.

How psychodynamic ideas translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic work looks at recurring emotional patterns and how past relationships shape current feelings. In practice this means the therapist listens for themes that repeat and helps the client name them, so small shifts in understanding can reduce distress and confusion.

Psychoanalytic and Jungian perspectives add a focus on unconscious material and symbolic meaning. These approaches help when people feel stuck, empty or overwhelmed by strong emotions, and they can clarify how early attachments affect adult responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss which ideas suit the person's goals and preferences and will adapt the pace and focus as the work progresses. The choice of method is reviewed over time rather than decided at the first appointment.

Online formats offer practical advantages for this work. Video calls let people speak face to face when distance or schedules make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins between meetings and can fit into a busy day without needing a full appointment.
