About Lee

Lee Freeman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working with adults. He focuses on anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties, and supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm.

He works with those affected by childhood and sexual abuse, and people who have been in coercive or narcissistic relationships. Lee also helps with stress, depression, addictions, intimacy-related concerns and issues connected to parenting and family life.

His sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. He combines elements of client-centred work with cognitive behavioural tools and trauma-focused methods. Sessions involve noticing patterns, practising emotion-regulation skills and trying out new ways of relating to others.

Lee uses mindfulness techniques alongside practical exercises to manage anxious thoughts and difficult memories. He aims to help clients build clearer personal boundaries and steadier emotional responses. The focus is on making sense of experiences rather than on quick fixes.

He accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial session are used to agree goals and plan the next steps. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Lee’s therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the individual. It helps people feel heard, clarify their priorities and decide what to try next.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT commonly uses practical exercises and short tasks to test unhelpful thinking and reduce anxious responses.

Trauma-focused approaches attend to difficult memories and their effects on everyday life. This can involve learning grounding and emotion-regulation strategies, and slowly addressing distressing memories in manageable steps.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lee will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan together. That plan can change as needs change, with the client guiding the pace.

If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats offered when you book. The biography describes online work but does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can guide which arrangements will suit your needs.
