About Edward
Edward Chatham is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. He also supports people managing stress and ADHD-related challenges.
Edward draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in their relationships and daily life. He also uses concepts from Jungian and psychoanalytic thought to look at deeper feelings and personal history.
Background and approach
In sessions he helps clients notice recurring reactions and links between past experiences and present difficulties. Sessions are conversational and reflective. He helps people name emotions, spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Edward pays attention to how difficulties affect family relationships and work life, and he can help people sort through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and family of origin problems. He has experience working with people who have personality difficulties and with those who are neurodivergent.
Edward also supports people facing challenges related to adoption and foster care, divorce and separation, substance use concerns and eating and body image issues. Clients may find his approach useful when they want to understand why they react a certain way, or when they want steadier relationships and better emotional balance.
He aims to work at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy
Edward draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people spot repeating patterns and make changes that reduce anxiety and improve relationships.He also uses concepts from psychoanalytic and Jungian thinking to explore deeper themes such as identity, loss and attachment. These ways of working aim to make unconscious feelings clearer so clients can choose different responses in daily life. Both approaches can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, abandonment worries and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will discuss options with each person and decide together what to focus on and how fast to move. The process is collaborative, with the client's goals and preferences guiding the choice of techniques.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions are close to face-to-face meetings and suit longer conversations, while phone calls can be easier when video is not convenient. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and flexible contact between longer sessions, making therapy easier to fit around work or family commitments.
