About Lee

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist with a BACP credential and five years of experience. He specialises in trauma, PTSD and complex relational difficulties and works with adults affected by abuse, anxiety, depression and overwhelming emotions.

He supports people who have experienced childhood or sexual abuse and those coping with grief, low self-esteem or coercive relationships. Anger, intimacy issues and problems around boundaries are part of his day-to-day work. He also helps with addiction-related concerns and life changes that leave someone feeling stuck.

Lee’s way of working is collaborative and grounded. Sessions focus on making sense of what has happened and on teaching practical skills for managing emotions. He uses tried techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and trauma-focused work alongside client-centred listening.

Practical aims in his sessions include clearer boundaries, steadier emotional responses and improved handling of difficult relationships. He talks through patterns, teaches regulation skills, and works on small, achievable steps rather than large promises.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment. He encourages starting from wherever someone is, even if they do not yet know all the answers.

How Lee uses evidence-based methods online

Lee draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused therapy in online sessions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce reactivity and manage anger. Trauma-focused therapy helps process painful memories and reduce the way past events keep affecting current relationships and emotions.

He also uses client-centred principles, which means listening carefully and working together to agree goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review how things are going and adjust methods to fit the client’s needs and aims.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone choose audio only if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor pace and techniques so sessions work around everyday routines rather than forcing major schedule changes.
