Edward Chatham, BACP

Edward Chatham offers a psychodynamic approach that draws on psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas. He combines these perspectives to help people untangle persistent thoughts and patterns that get in the way of everyday life. Edward is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. He focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem and depression, and has experience with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Sessions aim to make sense of feelings, recurrent behaviours and the history behind them so people can respond differently day to day. Edward has three years' clinical experience. He works with adults across a range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment difficulties and family of origin issues. He also supports people dealing with addiction, eating and body-image problems, and relationship strain at work or at home. Therapy sessions tend to explore how past experiences shape current reactions. Edward pays attention to recurring themes and emotional triggers, and he helps people try out new choices in thinking and behaviour. The pace is set to suit each person, with room for reflection and practical steps. People looking for online options can work with Edward through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. He offers an open, curious style that balances understanding past patterns with practical ways to manage symptoms in daily life.

How psychodynamic work adapts to online therapy

Edward draws on psychodynamic principles and psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas to help people notice recurring patterns and emotional themes. Psychodynamic work involves talking through memories, dreams or repeated reactions to uncover how past experiences shape present feelings; it can help with depression, anxiety and persistent relationship difficulties. Psychoanalytic-influenced exploration focuses on unconscious patterns and how they play out in relationships and daily life. Jungian ideas bring attention to symbols, personal narratives and meaning, which can be useful for people feeling stuck or empty. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Edward will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide how to blend techniques and pace the work to fit what feels most useful. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions that need visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions and a way to keep momentum when schedules are busy.
