About Cory

Cory Lee is a counsellor with five years' experience working with adults and young people. He aims to offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where people can talk about their lives and the difficulties they face. Cory uses straightforward language and listens without rushing so clients can feel heard and understood.

He draws on a range of approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred work, to match what each person needs.

Background and approach

That means sessions can focus on practical steps, shifting thoughts and behaviours, or looking more deeply at life patterns. Cory has worked in hospitals, community mental health settings, schools and summer programmes in the UK and the USA. His past roles include supporting people in crisis, helping those facing bereavement, and providing counselling through Mind.

He has experience with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with parenting concerns, attachment challenges, blended family issues and cultural or discrimination stressors. Sessions aim to help people manage immediate problems and build tools for everyday life.

Cory encourages small, achievable steps and honest conversation about hopes and setbacks. He invites people to bring whatever feels important and to work together on practical ways forward.

Online support

How Cory's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where people set the pace and the topics. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns from earlier life that keep repeating now and can help people understand long-standing reactions and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cory will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try different ways of working, and agree together what feels most helpful. That means therapy can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want brief check-ins. These formats make it easier to have regular contact from different locations and to choose the way of talking that fits day-to-day life.
