Lee Freeman, BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor with five years of practice supporting adults. He works online and focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. Lee describes his manner as warm, grounded and collaborative. He aims to give people a clear, steady space to talk through what matters to them.

Lee helps people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, grief, and emotional overwhelm. He also supports those coping with coercive or narcissistic relationships, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy and attachment. Practical concerns such as career strain, parenting stress and caregiver burden are also within his focus.

His approach mixes client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are part of how he works. He also brings trauma-focused methods when past events are central to current problems.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Lee encourages people to set goals they find meaningful and to build skills for calmer emotional responses. He emphasises understanding patterns in relationships and learning clearer boundaries.

People can expect direct, everyday language in sessions rather than jargon. Lee invites enquiries from those needing help with stress, addictions, body image, bereavement or family-related concerns. He accepts international clients and offers work in English.

How Lee adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Lee often draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions and focuses on listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what they want from therapy.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical steps and exercises that can help manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lee will talk through options, check what feels helpful and adapt methods to match the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process continues as therapy progresses.

The biography states he works online, but it does not list specific session formats; please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work and caregiving duties, and it can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce travel time and help people maintain continuity of care when they are based in different locations.
