Edmund Roberts

I work online Monday to Friday, and currently have availability.

My name is Edmund, and I am a qualified psychodynamic therapist.

There are many reasons why you might find yourself seeking therapy, general or specific, such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, or difficulty in forming or maintaining relationships.

People often seek therapy because they feel stuck, perhaps without knowing why. Psychodynamic therapy provides an empathic space to be heard, to share, and to explore what it is that is distressing you.

My practice welcomes a range of issues, from low-level anxiety, stress, feelings of stuck-ness and drift, to more complex conditions such as sexual abuse or suicidal ideation. Every person's issues are unique and are listened to openly and without judgement. 

I encourage you to bring whatever is on your mind – it is a free-associative space to speak freely, without judgement, however discomforting the thought or feeling. We can then think together, and try to understand your experience.

I usually work on an open-ended long term basis, with sessions once weekly. People tend to come for months, rather than weeks. However, you are free to come for as many or as few sessions as you wish. If you would prefer a shorter timeframe (6-12 weeks), we can discuss this before we begin and focus on a specific issue together. All sessions are 50 minutes long.

I have two years experience working as an honorary psychodynamic psychotherapist in a North London NHS Trust. 

I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck University. Additionally, I have a BA in English Literature and Philosophy, and an MA in Film and Literature, from York University. 

Psychodynamic therapy, rooted in the ideas of psychoanalysis, of the mind’s unconscious thoughts, fears and desires, is an exploratory, rather than solution focussed, approach; its theories have influenced all other psychotherapy models.

At its heart, it is a therapy about relating and relationships – how you relate to yourself, to others, and in the room with me. It will often explore early formative experiences and memories, aiming to shed light on present conflicts and patterns. It aims to broaden your understanding and emotional experience, and enable you to develop a greater sense of autonomy. It seeks to help you lead a more fulfilling life, and has the capacity to markedly improve your sense of self and well-being.

The therapeutic relationship itself is central to the process. Within a safe and supportive space, we may explore how your relational patterns emerge in our interactions.

The first session is a consultation where we can both get an idea of what it might be like to embark on therapy together. I will ask questions about what has brought you to therapy, and your life history, and you can ask any questions you have. If you then wish to continue, we will arrange a set time and day for an online session.

I have availability in-person on Mondays, and online during the week. I work in English.
