About Edward
Edward Chatham is a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in London and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers straightforward, conversational therapy for adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. His work is practical and focused on what is happening in people’s relationships and daily life.
He draws on psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time. That helps uncover how early experiences and unconscious feelings can shape current behaviour and mood. Sessions often look at relationships at home and at work, and how those connections affect day-to-day wellbeing.
His three years of clinical experience include working with people presenting with personality difficulties and various types of neurodivergence. He pays attention to how mental health and neurodivergent traits interact with close relationships and belonging.
Edward also has a stated focus on adoption and foster care-related concerns and on family of origin issues, exploring how early caregiving and loss can continue to influence adult life. He aims to help people make sense of past events and find steadier ways of relating.
In sessions he offers a steady, reflective style that balances listening with gentle interpretation. He encourages people to notice recurring feelings and choices, then try different ways of responding. Practical goals and clearer understanding are worked on together.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Edward uses psychodynamic ways of working alongside psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas to make sense of repeating patterns in thought and behaviour. Psychodynamic work focuses on discovering how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships, which can help with anxiety, depression and attachment concerns. Psychoanalytic perspectives attend to unconscious themes and recurring emotional responses, useful when someone wants to understand deep-rooted patterns. Jungian ideas bring attention to symbols, life stories and the search for personal meaning, which can be helpful for people dealing with identity or loss.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Edward will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt his methods to match each person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that balances insight with practical steps for everyday life.
