About Lee

Lee Freeman is a BACP psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience supporting adults. He works with people dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems and anger. Lee also helps with issues such as addiction, self-esteem, parenting strain and the stresses that come with life changes.

He sees people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, and those involved in coercive or narcissistic relationships. He talks through emotional overwhelm, low mood and difficulties setting boundaries. Practical worries like career strain, body image and chronic illness are also within his remit.

Lee uses a mix of client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness to structure sessions. He also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when they suit the person’s needs. Sessions aim to clarify what is happening now and build steps for change rather than offering quick fixes.

His style is described as grounded and collaborative. He works at a pace set by the person and pays attention to emotional regulation and relational patterns. That means helping people notice their reactions, test different responses, and practise new ways of being with others.

People who come to him often want clearer boundaries and steadier emotional responses. He supports practical skill-building alongside making sense of past hurts. If someone chooses to reach out, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging an initial session.

How sessions work

How Lee uses approaches online

Lee commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused work to organise online sessions. CBT helps identify thought patterns and behaviours that fuel stress and anger, and then breaks them down into manageable steps. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past harmful events and building skills for emotional regulation and improved relationships.

He also uses client-centred ideas and mindfulness in sessions to help people become more aware of their reactions and responses. Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process, and he works collaboratively to match the approach to a person’s goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels workable and adjusting techniques as progress and needs change.

The original biography indicates he works with adults online but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the session options available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily commitments, reduce travel time and allow quick check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting suit different practical needs, and the therapist will discuss what fits best for each person.
