About me
Understanding what happened. Rebuilding who you are.
You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or the sense that experiences from your past are still affecting how you feel, think and relate to others today.
I’m Lee Freeman, an integrative psychotherapist working with adults and couples. I offer a warm, straightforward and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, understand what may be happening beneath the surface, and begin to make changes that feel meaningful and lasting.
I work with a broad range of emotional difficulties, with particular experience in childhood trauma, childhood sexual abuse (CSA), emotional neglect, PTSD/CPTSD, and narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships.
The effects of these experiences can reach far beyond memories of the past. They can shape confidence, trust, identity, emotional regulation and the relationships you have with yourself and other people. You may struggle with shame, self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, or patterns you understand intellectually but still find hard to change.
Therapy can help you make sense of these patterns, understand where they come from and develop healthier ways of responding to yourself, other people and difficult situations.
I also offer couples counselling for partners experiencing repeated conflict, emotional disconnection, resentment, loss of trust, infidelity, intimacy difficulties or uncertainty about the future of their relationship. I help couples recognise the patterns they have become caught in, communicate more openly and understand what needs to change.
My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth and tailored to you. I won’t tell you how you should feel or what you should do. Instead, we work together to understand what is happening, what may be keeping you stuck, and what could help you move forward.
I offer face-to-face, online and telephone sessions, with flexible appointment times available.
Taking the first step can feel difficult, particularly if you are used to dealing with things alone. Therapy gives you somewhere to begin.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
