Lee Freeman , BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist who specialises in trauma, post-traumatic stress, and complex relational difficulties. He has over five years of experience supporting adults through online therapy and brings a calm, grounded presence to each session. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Lee works with people affected by childhood and sexual abuse as well as those coping with anxiety, depression, coercive or narcissistic relationships, grief, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm. He focuses on helping clients make sense of painful experiences, recover from trauma, and build practical skills to manage intense emotions and difficult relationships.

His style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, offering a supportive space where clients move at their own pace. His practice blends trauma-informed cognitive behavioural techniques, relational approaches, and emotional regulation strategies to address symptoms and underlying relational patterns. Clients often report feeling more emotionally stable, clearer about their boundaries, and better able to navigate challenging relationships. Lee emphasises that therapy is not about fixing someone but about understanding experiences and developing tools to live more fully in the present. He welcomes people to begin where they are and work from there.

Trauma-informed and Collaborative Approaches for Online Therapy

Lee Freeman uses a blend of evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and reactions that follow traumatic events. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact, helping clients work through experiences such as childhood or sexual abuse and the lasting effects of coercive relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and understanding, enabling clients to explore feelings and make meaningful changes at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lee works collaboratively with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time so the work fits each person’s situation and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family, or mobility constraints, and allow therapists to provide consistent care to people in different locations with scheduling that fits their life.
