Lee Freeman, BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor with five years of experience supporting adults through difficult life changes. He works online and focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Lee presents as warm and grounded and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical.

Lee helps people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, grief, and emotional overwhelm. He also supports those coping with low self-esteem, addictive behaviours, and the impact of coercive or narcissistic relationships. Midlife crisis is one of the life-stage concerns he lists among his focus areas.

His style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Sessions commonly look at what feels unsafe or unclear, then build practical tools for managing emotions and boundaries. He aims to help people gain steady routines and clearer choices rather than pushing quick fixes.

The work draws together client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used where they suit a person’s goals. Conversations include exploring past patterns, spotting triggers, and practising new responses.

People who reach out can expect a direct but empathic approach. Lee encourages starting from where someone is, even when things feel messy. He invites people to take small, manageable steps toward feeling more in control and able to move forward.

How Lee’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and better able to make choices about their life and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This is useful for anxiety, depression and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something else looks more helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from wherever someone is based. Because the biography confirms he practises online, please check the current session formats before booking to be sure they meet your needs. The focus in sessions is on practical steps you can use between meetings, clearer boundaries, and building emotional stability that fits everyday routines.
