About Lee
Lee Freeman is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns. Sessions focus on helping people make sense of their experiences and to manage day-to-day emotions more effectively.
He sees people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, coercive or narcissistic relationships, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm. He also supports those dealing with addiction, bereavement, intimacy issues and major life changes. Lee lists additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment, blended family problems, body image and caregiver stress.
His practice uses client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Trauma-focused methods and solution-focused strategies are part of the mix when they suit a person's goals. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps rather than labels or jargon.
Sessions are collaborative and paced according to each person's readiness. Lee aims to help people gain clearer boundaries, steadier emotions and better ways of coping with difficult relationships. He works in English and accepts international clients as noted in his profile.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Lee uses client-centred work which focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters to the person. This approach helps when someone needs to talk things through and feel heard without technical language.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to test small changes in behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful situations.
Trauma-focused work offers ways to address distress from past experiences and to build emotion regulation skills. This is applied carefully and paced to what the person can manage.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adaptive rather than fixed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile summary does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family time, reduce travel, and allow a shorter check-in when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who work online, can tailor sessions so they fit everyday life and practical routines.
