About Lee
Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor who holds BACP accreditation and has five years of experience working with adults. He focuses on trauma, PTSD, complex relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression. He regularly supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm.
Lee works with adults affected by childhood and sexual abuse and people who have experienced narcissistic or coercive relationships. He also helps with boundaries, impulse control and the emotional impact of difficult partnerships. His listed interests include addiction, intimacy-related worries, eating and body image concerns, and coping with life changes such as separation or parenting strain.
His approach is described as grounded and collaborative. He uses client-centred ways of working alongside trauma-informed cognitive behavioural ideas and emotional regulation techniques. Sessions aim to help people make sense of their experiences and build practical skills for day-to-day coping.
In practice Lee will talk through what has happened, look at patterns that keep problems going, and work on concrete steps to reduce distress. He helps people clarify their boundaries and practice strategies to manage anxiety or overwhelming feelings. Work can include looking at attachment and abandonment issues when those themes are present.
Lee accepts international clients and runs therapy online. He suggests starting from where someone is rather than expecting them to have everything sorted before they begin. To book a first session users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Lee uses client-centred therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. This approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s pace while exploring feelings, relationships and goals.He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT work often involves practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee discusses options with each person and chooses methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. He makes these choices together with the client rather than imposing a single method.
The original biography states that he runs therapy online but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or study, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to remote sessions so practical skill-building and trauma-informed CBT exercises remain possible online.
