Lee Freeman , BACP

Lee Freeman is a UK-based psychotherapist specialising in trauma, PTSD, and complex relational difficulties, with over five years of experience supporting adults online. He holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a calm, grounded presence to remote work with individuals navigating difficult life challenges.

He works with people affected by childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, narcissistic or coercive relationships, grief, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm. His practice combines practical strategies with relational understanding to address immediate distress and the longer term patterns that shape relationships and self-concept.

Lee’s style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. He aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore what is happening for them at their own pace, without judgment. His work integrates trauma-informed cognitive behavioral techniques, relational approaches, and emotional regulation strategies to help people make sense of their experiences and build coping skills. Clients often report feeling more emotionally stable, clearer about their boundaries, and better able to manage difficult relationships.

Lee sees therapy as a process of recovery and meaning making rather than a quick fix. He helps clients recover from painful experiences and develop tools to live more fully in the present, beginning from wherever they are ready to start.

Trauma-informed and Collaborative Online Therapy Approaches

Lee Freeman draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people process painful events and the ways those experiences continue to affect emotions and relationships. This approach concentrates on understanding trauma responses and developing strategies to reduce reactivity and improve day to day functioning.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy informs his relational stance, prioritising a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace of work and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lee works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adjust focus over time as healing and insight develop.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support while maintaining flexibility. These options allow clients to choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort, making therapy more accessible for people managing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
