About Edward

Edward Chatham works with adults on depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem and ADHD using psychodynamic approaches rooted in Psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

He frames sessions around patterns that repeat in everyday life. He looks at feelings, past experiences and how these link to current behaviour. He aims to make sense of how difficulties show up at work and in close relationships.

Edward draws on Psychoanalytic concepts to explore early relationships and inner conflicts. He also uses Jungian ideas to work with symbols, dreams and personal meaning. These perspectives can be useful for understanding long-standing mood problems and identity concerns.

He has worked with adults across a range of presentations, including personality difficulties and neurodivergent traits. He pays attention to how these issues affect someone's sense of self and their interactions with others.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. People can expect a focus on listening and linking past experience to current patterns. The aim is clearer self-understanding and practical ways to manage distress and improve everyday functioning.

How psychodynamic approaches work in online counselling

Psychodynamic work explores how past relationships and internal patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand repeating difficulties, low mood and anxiety by linking past experience with present reactions.

Jungian-informed work looks at symbols, dreams and personal meaning to help people make sense of identity issues and inner conflicts. These methods can be useful when someone feels stuck, empty, or uncertain about themselves.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will agree a way forward together.

Confirm the practical session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with therapy if relocating within the UK, subject to the counsellor's practice arrangements.
