Edward Chatham

I have availability currently ( Autumn 2026) for face to face in person therapy and Online therapy .

My in person therapy room is approximately 15 minutes from Bank Station or Liverpool Street station and easily accessible from The City, Central and East London.

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist;  which is the original format of talking therapies as devised by Freud, Jung and is informed by the British School of Independent Psychoanalysis .

I work to enable long term change in how people see themselves and their relationship with the world and with the people within it.

I work with free association , rather than directing my clients how to think, feel or behave. This way , the clients that I work with can discover a new way of thinking about themselves within the safe space that therapy provides.

I work with adults of all ages . Typical presenting issues depression and anxiety which are often experienced as problems with family - both parents and children, with partners, or within the workplace. Increasingly I am working with helping clients come to terms with adult diagnoses of neurodiversity and assisting them to process their subsequent difficult childhood experiences. 

Choosing a therapist , whether its your first time, or if you have tried therapy before with limited success, is nerve wracking and can be confusing.

Therefore, before we start, I suggest that we meet, either online or in person,  for a complimentary session to decide if Psychotherapy is correct for you.

I can be found on other therapy platforms, but I only offer in person therapy via the BACP.

Contact me to arrange a time for the initial complimentary session and we can discuss whether Psychodynamic Psychotherapy would be suitable for you.

I offer a free 50 minute initial consultation.

I work face to face and online with clients, including daytime and evening sessions

I currently have availability for in-person therapy in my comfortable room, 1 minute from Leytonstone Central Line Underground station, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays , and a Wednesday slot will become free later this autumn.

I help people who are feeling depressed, anxious or having problems with their relationships at home and at work. Perhaps you've recently had a setback in life that has hit you hard, or an ADHD diagnosis that you are unsure how to deal with.

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, MBACP registered, and work with adults of all ages to help them understand how their past experiences and unconscious thoughts influence their present behaviour and relationships. I have studied both Jungian and Psychoanalytic thinking and use this to provide deep and creative insights into your unconscious mind, to help you make better life choices, and discover a true sense of your Self.

I offer a free initial 50 minute consultation , to discover if psychodynamic psychotherapy is the right way forward for the challenges that you face. Often, people who have tried other forms of counselling such as CBT find that Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is more effective in helping them with their unique life situations.

I offer concessionary rates for people who are unwaged - students, pensioners and those currently out of work.

I act as a neutral mirror, reflecting what is in your conscious and unconscious mind without judgement, prejudice or interference.

I will give you space to talk and freely associate your thoughts , dreams, memories and life experiences, and we will think together about how these past events are affecting your ability to live your life to its full potential today.
