About Lee
BACP. Five years' experience. Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor who works with adults on trauma, relationship difficulties and anxiety. He helps people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, grief, depression, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm, using straightforward, practical methods.
Lee describes his style as collaborative and grounded. Sessions focus on understanding what has happened, stabilising strong feelings, and clarifying personal boundaries. He aims to help people make sense of painful experiences and develop skills to cope day to day.
His work draws on trauma-informed cognitive behavioural therapy, relational approaches and emotional regulation strategies. This means sessions can include looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, exploring how relationships affect a person now, and practising ways to manage intense emotions.
Lee also uses solution-focused and mindfulness techniques when they fit a person’s needs. These approaches tend to be practical and present-oriented, aiming to build small, achievable changes rather than long theoretical discussion.
People come for help with a wide range of concerns including addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, career pressure, and body image. He lists additional focuses such as attachment or abandonment issues, blended family problems and chronic illness coping.
Sessions are offered in English and Lee works with international clients. Prospective clients are asked to follow the service booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How his approaches are used in online counselling
Lee frequently draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused work. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and helps people develop practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping. Trauma-focused work concentrates on stabilising overwhelming feelings and processing painful memories in manageable steps.He also uses client-centred ideas, which focus on listening and building a collaborative working relationship. That approach helps when people want to talk through relationship problems, grief, identity or self-esteem concerns and decide what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the counselling process. Lee will work together with a client to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining short, practical CBT tasks with trauma-focused stabilisation and client-centred discussion.
The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time.
