Edward Chatham, BACP

Edward Chatham is a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns, and he lists ADHD and family-related issues among his focus areas.

Edward draws on ideas from psychoanalytic and Jungian theories to understand patterns in thinking and everyday habits. He pays attention to recurring thoughts, early relationship experiences, and how these shape reactions at home and at work. Sessions often look at how past experiences link to current frustrations and repetitive behaviours.

In practice he talks things through at a steady pace, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and small behaviours that keep problems going. He aims to make sense of difficult feelings and to find clearer ways to manage daily life. This can include practical steps to change routines and ways of thinking.

Edward has worked with people experiencing personality difficulties and differing levels of neurodivergence, with attention to how these affect relationships and everyday functioning. He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, attachment concerns, bereavement and family of origin issues.

Sessions follow a reflective style that balances talking about feelings with noticing habits of thought. People who prefer exploring underlying patterns alongside practical changes may find his approach helpful. Booking starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

How psychodynamic ideas translate to online work

Psychodynamic work explores recurring thoughts, early relationship patterns and everyday habits that shape mood and behaviour. In simple terms this means noticing repeated ways of thinking and how they affect daily life, then talking through those patterns to find alternatives that feel more manageable. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression and difficulties linked to attachment and family of origin issues.

Psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas emphasise how past experiences and hidden patterns influence current reactions. Sessions often look at dreams, imagery or recurring themes in relationships to make sense of difficult feelings. This style can help people who want to understand why they repeat the same habits and thinking that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which ideas and techniques best fit their goals and preferences, and may blend reflective exploration with practical steps for everyday change.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that talking through patterns and practising new habits remotely can still be a meaningful way to progress.
