About Lee

Lee Freeman helps people work through trauma, relationship problems, anxiety, depression and related issues using a mix of practical talking therapies. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

He focuses on the effects of childhood and sexual abuse, coercive or narcissistic relationships, grief, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm. Sessions concentrate on understanding what has happened, noticing patterns in relationships and building everyday skills for regulating difficult feelings.

Lee describes his way of working as collaborative and grounded. He uses client-centred listening alongside evidence-informed methods drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and trauma-focused work. He also brings in mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when these suit the person in front of him.

Practical work in sessions can include identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them, practising simple mindfulness exercises, and planning small changes to improve day-to-day coping. He pays attention to boundaries and communication when relationship issues are discussed.

People often come for help with specific problems such as addiction, eating or anger, and with broader concerns such as career change, parenting pressures or coping with chronic illness. Lee will work with clients to set clear goals and review progress over time.

How Lee uses talking therapies in online sessions

Lee draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts, and to plan small experiments that can change how they respond in daily life. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship patterns.

He also uses trauma-focused methods that concentrate on understanding the impact of past harm and on building skills to manage strong emotions. This approach aims to reduce the intensity of distressing reactions and to improve day-to-day coping after traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee will discuss what feels most relevant, set goals together and adjust the methods used as treatment progresses. He works collaboratively with each person to decide whether CBT, trauma-focused work or mindfulness-based techniques are most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or health limitations, and they can reduce travel time and logistical strain. Online work also allows quick check-ins and regular follow-up focused on skills practice and reviewing progress.
