Lee Freeman
Experienced trauma-informed online counsellor
About Lee
Lee Freeman is a UK-based counsellor with five years of experience supporting adults online. He focuses on trauma and complex relational problems and works with people affected by anxiety, depression and grief. Lee also helps those coping with addiction, low self-esteem and intimacy-related worries.
Clients come to him for issues linked to family and parenting stress, chronic illness or pain, and difficulties around attachment and abandonment. He also addresses body image, eating concerns, anger and challenges at work or with career change.
Background and approach
LGBT-related concerns and the impacts of coercive relationships are within his remit. Lee uses a warm, grounded and collaborative style in sessions. He aims to build a space where people can talk at their own pace and make sense of painful experiences without judgement.
He focuses on practical skills as well as understanding how past events affect present life. His practice draws on person-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. He also uses solution-focused steps and trauma-focused methods when they fit the situation.
Together these approaches help with emotional regulation, clearer boundaries and coping strategies. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Lee works via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
People start by using the site questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits them.

Sessions & fees
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Lee draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused work to help people manage distressing thoughts and responses. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression and unhelpful behaviours. Trauma-focused therapy focuses on how past traumatic events affect daily life and offers ways to process those experiences safely and gradually.He also uses client-centred ideas to keep the work collaborative. That means he will listen, reflect and help people set goals that feel right for them. Finding the best approach is a shared process - the therapist will check in about what helps, adapt methods based on progress, and work with the client's goals and preferences.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual rapport, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers short check-ins or written reflections between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and can fit around work, caregiving or other daily commitments.
