About Lee Freeman

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist who specialises in trauma, PTSD, and complex relational difficulties and has five years of experience supporting adults online. He works with people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, narcissistic or coercive relationships, grief, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm, and also supports those dealing with addictions, family and intimacy issues, and a wide range of other life challenges.

Lee adopts a warm, grounded, and collaborative style, creating a space where clients can explore their experience at a pace that feels manageable and without judgment. His practice integrates trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - an approach that helps people understand and change patterns of thinking and behaviour - alongside relational methods and emotional regulation strategies to help clients develop practical coping tools.

Lee holds BACP membership, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting adherence to professional standards in the UK. He aims to help people make sense of painful experiences, recover from past harms, and build more fulfilling lives in the present. Many clients report increased emotional stability, clearer personal boundaries, and improved ability to manage difficult relationships as therapy progresses.

Those considering contact do not need to have everything figured out; Lee meets people where they are and works collaboratively from that starting point.

Approaches for Online Healing and Relational Work

Lee Freeman draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic events and their lasting effects on thinking, feeling, and relationships; this approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and building skills to reduce their ongoing influence. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Lee integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering a compassionate, non-directive stance that prioritises the client’s own perspective and supports exploration of relational and attachment-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lee works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods over time, combining techniques where helpful to support recovery and practical coping.

Online therapy with Lee is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into different schedules and life situations. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care when life circumstances change.
