About Edward
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Edward Chatham has three years' experience and works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, self esteem, depression and ADHD.
Edward describes his work from a psychodynamic perspective. He draws on ideas from psychoanalytic and Jungian thought to help people understand patterns in their feelings and relationships. Sessions focus on how past experiences and unconscious patterns show up in daily life and relationships.
He helps people make sense of mood changes, low self worth and persistent worry. He also works with people who identify as neurodivergent and with those affected by separation, adoption or other family issues. Practical problems at work or in the home are discussed alongside longer standing emotional patterns.
Edward aims to explore how attachment, early family relationships and recurring patterns influence choices and reactions now. People who struggle with addictive behaviours, eating issues or feelings of emptiness can bring those concerns to the room. The emphasis is on noticing patterns and talking through what they mean for day-to-day life.
Sessions take a talking-therapy approach rather than a skills-only model. He is based in the United Kingdom and offers work informed by psychodynamic, psychoanalytic and Jungian ideas. Clients are invited to consider both current problems and how past experience might shape them.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Edward works from a psychodynamic base and draws on psychoanalytic ideas and Jungian thinking. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns in relationships and feelings, and helps people see how past experience can shape current responses. Psychoanalytic ideas focus on hidden or unconscious themes that may repeat over time and affect mood and behaviour. Jungian influences pay attention to symbols and personal meaning, which can help when people feel lost or empty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the way he works in collaboration with each person. He will look at your goals and short-term needs as well as deeper patterns before agreeing how to proceed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or avoid being on camera if that makes a session easier. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping therapy going alongside work or family life.
