Lee Freeman, BACP

Lee Freeman is a psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and parenting pressures. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and to manage difficult feelings and situations.

He regularly supports people affected by coercive or narcissistic relationships, childhood abuse, and sexual abuse. He also helps those facing addiction-related problems, eating and body-image concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Lee notices patterns linked to attachment, abandonment and blended-family stress and brings those themes into therapy when they are relevant.

His way of working is collaborative and straightforward. He uses Client-Centred methods to follow what matters most to the person, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are blended in to build coping skills and short-term goals.

Sessions tend to focus on emotional regulation, boundary development, and clearer communication. He will help a client map patterns in relationships and try practical experiments between sessions. Work can include grounding and trauma-focused techniques when past harm is central to the difficulty.

If someone is unsure how to begin, he asks simple questions about current struggles and priorities. The first steps are about clarifying what feels most urgent and agreeing a plan for manageable change.
