About Lee
Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor with five years of clinical experience. He supports adults online who are coping with trauma, anxiety, depression and difficult relationships. He is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works in English.
Lee's sessions are calm and down-to-earth. He focuses on helping people feel steadier, set clearer boundaries, and manage intense emotions. He aims to create a respectful space where clients can take things at their own pace.
How Lee works
In practice he mixes client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused ways of working. That means talking through patterns of thought, trying small exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, and learning ways to reduce overwhelm in the moment. He also uses mindfulness and solution-focused tools to help people find small changes that matter.
These methods are useful for stress, grief, addictive patterns, and issues with self-esteem or body image. Sessions look at real-life problems and steps clients can try between meetings. Lee pays attention to relational and attachment concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, fatherhood worries and communication breakdowns.
He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, anger and impulse control. His aim is practical progress while respecting each person’s pace.

How online therapy and practical approaches work together
Lee combines client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused techniques. Client-centred therapy means the conversation follows the client's concerns, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection to help people understand their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. Trauma-focused work looks at how past experiences affect present reactions and uses paced strategies to help reduce overwhelm.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Lee will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try together. He adapts the mix of listening, practical exercises and calming strategies as trust builds and needs change.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let clients use facial cues and eye contact when that helps. Phone sessions work well when call quality or bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling-style reflections, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines.
