About Lee
Lee Freeman is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working online with adults. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, grief and issues around self-esteem. He also works with concerns such as addictions, parenting stress, intimacy-related difficulties and blended family issues.
Lee uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused ideas. Sessions tend to focus on identifying what feels most urgent, learning ways to manage intense feelings, and building clearer boundaries in difficult relationships.
People bring a mix of problems. Some are coping with the fallout from past abuse or ongoing coercive relationships. Others are handling life changes like separation, fatherhood pressures, or muddled family dynamics when households merge. Lee aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and test what works in everyday life.
His style is collaborative and grounded. He encourages short-term strategies such as breaking problems into manageable steps, alongside exploring deeper relational themes where needed. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques appear alongside trauma-focused work when appropriate.
Practical outcomes Lee focuses on include calmer emotional responses, clearer personal boundaries, and improved communication. For someone in a blended household worried about loyalties, routines or co-parenting tensions, he offers a steady, direct way to talk these issues through and plan next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Lee combines client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people manage current problems and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience so they can explore what matters most. CBT offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours that reduce anxiety and improve mood.He also uses trauma-focused ideas when past events continue to affect everyday life. Trauma-focused work looks at how memories and bodily reactions shape one’s responses now, and it helps build skills to manage those reactions. These approaches are useful for relationship strain, grief, blended household tensions and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions usually begin by identifying the most pressing issues, then pairing practical strategies with deeper relational work as needed.
