About Edward
Edward Chatham is a psychodynamic psychotherapist who draws on psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas to understand how people relate to themselves and others. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Edward writes in plain terms and aims to make therapy a place for honest talking and clearer thinking.
He helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those coping with low self-esteem and attention difficulties linked to ADHD.
Background and approach
His work pays attention to how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships at work or at home. Edward uses conversation to look for patterns that repeat over time. That can include exploring family of origin issues, attachment difficulties and feelings of abandonment.
He also addresses challenges tied to adoption and foster care, ageing, and body image concerns. People who have struggled with addiction, eating problems or personality-related difficulties can bring those concerns to sessions. Edward notes how these issues often connect with emptiness, commitment worries or problems with dependence.
In sessions he blends psychodynamic perspectives with Jungian ideas to make meaning of recurring themes. That helps people notice habits, test new ways of being, and make practical changes in daily life.

How Edward works online
Psychoanalytic-informed work pays attention to unconscious themes and early relational experiences. It helps people notice recurring reactions and make different choices. Jungian ideas explore personal symbols and meaning, which can be useful for people who want to understand deeper life patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Edward will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which ideas to use. He adapts conversations so they fit the person's needs and life circumstances rather than prescribing a single method.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful when quieter surroundings or less screen time are preferable, but check the current session options to see what suits you best.
