About Lee

Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor with five years' experience supporting adults online. He specialises in trauma, PTSD and complex relationship difficulties, and he lists Client-Centred Therapy among his approaches. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them.

Lee works with adults affected by childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety and depression. He also helps people dealing with coercive or narcissistic relationships, grief, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm. Sessions focus on what the person brings in and move at a pace that feels manageable.

His style is warm and grounded, and he describes his work as collaborative. Conversations tend to centre on understanding painful experiences, building clearer boundaries and finding ways to regulate strong emotions. Practical steps are mixed with listening and reflection.

Lee draws on a mix of approaches including Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-informed methods. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas also appear in sessions when they fit a person’s needs. These tools are used to help people gain clarity and cope better day to day.

If someone is unsure how to start, Lee encourages beginning where you are. He supports people to make sense of what has happened, recover from distressing events and develop skills that help them live more fully in the present.

How Lee's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means the counsellor listens closely, follows the person's lead and offers empathy so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and offers practical steps to try different responses to worries and unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events and build emotional regulation skills to feel more stable in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lee will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions so methods match the person's needs. That collaboration can change over time as what is useful becomes clearer.

The biography states Lee works with people online, so confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose whether they prefer to be on camera or to use audio only, depending on what helps them engage with the counsellor.
