About Lee
Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor with five years of clinical experience. He works online with adults who are facing trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety or depression. Parents seeking help with parenting strain or family-related stress will find practical, down-to-earth support.
He has a BACP accreditation, which signals registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Lee uses a blend of approaches so sessions can be tailored to what a person needs.
Background and approach
He aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can speak openly and at their own pace. Sessions focus on understanding what has caused distress and on building everyday skills. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practising grounding and emotion regulation, or finding more effective ways to communicate.
He also helps people set boundaries and rebuild emotional stability after painful experiences. Lee brings a warm and collaborative style to therapy. He does not rush people or insist on a single method.
Instead he works alongside each client to find what helps most in their situation and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses. People come to him with grief, recovery from abuse, struggles around intimacy, eating concerns, addiction, low self-esteem, parenting stress and much more. The emphasis is on practical, manageable steps that can fit into everyday life so change feels possible and sustainable.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Lee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centred principles. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on stabilisation, processing traumatic memories when ready, and building emotion regulation skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. Client-Centred work means sessions follow the person's pace, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection rather than directing every step.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. He reviews progress and adjusts the mix of techniques so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, brief updates between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments while still receiving consistent professional support.
