Lee Freeman, BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor with five years of clinical experience. He works online with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and complex relational issues. Lee also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and difficulties around intimacy and self‑esteem.

Lee’s style is warm, grounded and collaborative. He offers a calm space to talk through what is happening now and to make sense of past experiences. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings.

He blends client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused tasks are used when they fit the client’s needs. The aim is to help people feel more emotionally steady and clearer about their boundaries.

Lee commonly helps with issues linked to relationships, family pressures, body image and parenting strains. He also supports people coping with chronic pain, long-term illness and caring responsibilities, and works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and impulse control.

If someone is unsure where to start, Lee asks straightforward questions and builds a plan together. He describes therapy as a process of making sense, recovering from painful events and learning tools to manage day-to-day life.

How Lee's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. It’s about building understanding and working at a pace that feels manageable, which helps when discussing painful or confusing experiences.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to develop skills for managing anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lee will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on the client's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adapts as needs change.

Because Lee works online, sessions can fit into everyday life more easily. Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it simpler to attend regular appointments, use short check‑ins, or include written or mindfulness tasks between meetings as needed.
