About Cory

Cory Lee is a counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and life changes. He holds BACP accreditation and works from a person-focused stance that aims to make talking about hard things straightforward and manageable. He welcomes conversations about relationships, identity and mood in plain language.

Cory offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of their experiences. Before moving into independent practice he worked across a range of settings.

How Cory works

His background includes work in inpatient child and adolescent mental health services, adult mental health support in the community, and projects in schools and summer programmes in the UK and the USA. He has also provided counselling with Mind and supported older adults through grief, depression and anxiety. Cory adapts his approach to what each person needs.

He draws from client-centred methods that focus on listening, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviours, and solution-focused steps to set practical goals. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when that suits the person, or more reflective if deeper understanding is wanted.

Cory helps people work through parenting stress, family conflict, issues around intimacy and identity, addictions, and career pressures. He also supports those coping with bereavement, trauma and self-esteem struggles. People looking for flexible online options can meet him by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

International clients can be seen in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the platform process and availability.

Online support options

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety, low mood or addictive habits. It uses practical exercises and small steps to create measurable change.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive space where people feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through identity, self-esteem or relationship worries and be guided at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cory will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean blending listening, practical CBT tasks and short-term solution-focused steps as the process evolves.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for a conversational session that mirrors face-to-face contact, while phone calls can be better when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or messaging can provide brief check-ins and flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
