Lee Freeman, BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist with 5 years of experience providing online support to adults facing trauma, PTSD and complex relational difficulties. He works with people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, coercive or narcissistic relationships, grief, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm, integrating trauma-informed cognitive behavioral techniques, relational approaches and emotion regulation strategies into his practice.

His manner is warm, grounded and collaborative, aiming to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what is happening for them at their own pace. Therapy with Lee focuses on making sense of painful experiences, recovering from harm and developing practical tools to live more fully in the present rather than on fixing someone. Lee holds the BACP credential - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and brings that professional framework to his work helping clients clarify boundaries, manage difficult relationships and increase emotional stability.

Clients often report feeling more emotionally stable, clearer about their boundaries and better able to manage challenging relationships. Lee invites people to begin therapy from wherever they are, recognising that clients do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Approaches for online trauma and relationship work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work. It is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem and navigating difficult life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and supports practical skill development to manage anxiety, depression and stress. CBT offers concrete tools for changing responses to challenging situations and improving emotional regulation.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences through approaches tailored to processing and integration, which can reduce long-term distress and improve relationship functioning. Lee Freeman draws on trauma-informed methods to work with trauma, PTSD and complex relational difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Lee will collaborate with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences, and registered professionals may adapt methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for those balancing work, family or health limitations. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain continuity of care across locations and access support from wherever a client is based.
