Lee Freeman, BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist with five years' experience. He focuses on trauma, difficult relationships and emotional overwhelm and offers a calm, grounded approach tailored to each person.

He helps people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety and depression. He also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, and the effects of coercive or narcissistic relationships.

Lee aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. Sessions focus on making sense of painful experiences and finding practical ways to feel more stable day to day.

His practice blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused techniques. He also uses mindfulness and solution-focused methods when they suit someone’s goals.

Typical therapy tasks include learning emotional regulation strategies, clarifying boundaries, and practising small changes that reduce overwhelm. Lee frames therapy as collaborative and does not present it as a way to be 'fixed' but as a way to build tools for the present.

Sessions are offered in English and Lee accepts international clients. He asks people to begin where they are and to take the next step when it feels right.

How Lee's approaches work online

The client-centred approach focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves active listening, reflecting what matters to you, and shaping sessions around your pace and aims.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In short practical steps it helps with anxiety, depression and unhelpful patterns in relationships.

Trauma-focused work aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and improve emotional regulation. It often includes grounding, stepped processing of difficult material, and learning skills to feel steadier day to day.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lee will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in on busy days. The biography notes online practice but does not list specific formats, so confirm the exact session options when you book. Many people find online sessions help maintain continuity of care and apply what they learn straight away in daily routines.
