Lee Freeman , BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist who specialises in trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and complex relational difficulties. With 5 years of experience supporting adults online, he works with people impacted by childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, narcissistic or coercive relationships, grief, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm.

He offers a warm, grounded and collaborative style, aiming to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what is happening for them at their own pace. His practice integrates trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, relational approaches, and emotional regulation strategies to help clients make sense of their reactions and develop practical ways to manage intense feelings.

Lee emphasises that therapy is not about "fixing" someone but about recovering from painful experiences and building tools to live more fully in the present. Many clients report feeling more emotionally stable, clearer about their boundaries, and better able to manage difficult relationships after working with him. He is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Trauma-informed approaches and flexible online therapy

Lee Freeman draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies that can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and overwhelm. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing experiences and build coping skills for symptoms that follow abuse or other traumatic events. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s perspective, providing empathic, nonjudgmental support so individuals can explore feelings, values and personal goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Lee is designed for accessibility and flexibility. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent conversations are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and geographic constraints, and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
