Lee Freeman, BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist with five years of experience supporting adults online, specialising in trauma, PTSD, and complex relational difficulties. He works with people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety and depression, narcissistic or coercive relationships, grief, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm. Lee blends trauma-informed cognitive behavioral techniques with relational, client-centered work and practical emotional regulation strategies to help clients make sense of painful experiences and build coping skills.

His approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative, offering a nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore challenges at their own pace. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, restoring emotional balance, and strengthening boundaries so that people can manage difficult relationships and stressful situations more effectively. Many people report feeling more emotionally stable, clearer about their boundaries, and better able to navigate relationships after working with him.

Lee describes therapy as a process of recovery and learning rather than a quick fix. He aims to help clients recover from past harm, develop tools for present living, and reconnect with what matters to them. Lee holds BACP credentials - a recognised membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers support to both UK-based and international clients via online sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lee Freeman integrates trauma-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address distress linked to past harm and present-day symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and the ways those experiences affect relationships and emotional responses, which can help with PTSD, complex trauma, and abuse-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood, and problematic patterns.

He also uses client-centered principles to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This relational stance supports exploration of attachment, boundaries, and self-understanding and complements more structured techniques. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Lee will work with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy with Lee is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which helps make appointments more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt sessions to the format that best supports progress while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
