About Edward
BACP. Edward Chatham has three years' experience as a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in London. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD and self‑esteem issues, and looks at how these problems affect relationships at home and at work.
He draws on psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas as part of his way of working. That means he pays attention to recurring patterns, early relationships, and the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions focus on understanding those patterns and how they turn up in daily life.
Edward works with adults across a range of difficulties, including personality concerns and different forms of neurodivergence. He also helps people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, family of origin problems, and relationship strain linked to mental health challenges.
Consultations explore feelings, memories and repeated behaviours. Conversations aim to make sense of emotional reactions and to find practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. He uses straightforward language and keeps sessions focused on what is most pressing for the person in front of him.
Edward practices in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. For people considering counselling he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
How psychodynamic and Jungian ideas inform online counselling
Edward uses psychodynamic work to notice patterns that repeat in a person's life and relationships; this approach looks at recurring feelings and behaviours to understand why they happen. Jungian ideas are used alongside psychoanalytic thinking to explore personal symbols and life stories, which can be helpful for people struggling with identity, emptiness or attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor and client will talk about what feels most helpful and try different ways of working if needed. That collaboration helps shape the focus of sessions and the pace of therapeutic work.
The practical benefits of remote counselling are about fitting conversations into everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments. Please confirm which session formats he currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals often find that regular, scheduled sessions help maintain momentum and progress, even when they are not in the same room as the counsellor.
