Cory Lee, BACP

Cory Lee is an integrative and CBT counsellor who works with adults and young people, creating a compassionate, genuine and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their lives and situations. He combines client-focused listening with practical therapeutic techniques, drawing on multiple approaches to best support each person he meets. Cory is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his professional standing and commitment to recognised practice.

With five years of experience, Cory has worked across a variety of settings, including in-patient CAMHS and adult mental health services, where he supported adults and families in the community during times of crisis. He has also provided counselling in schools and summer programmes in both the UK and the USA. His background includes work with Mind and with older adults, offering support during bereavement, depression and anxiety.

Cory aims to be a counsellor people can relate to, offering attentive listening and practical assistance as clients work through specific issues or engage in broader journeys of self-discovery and self-care. He invites clients to bring their concerns and goals, and to explore pathways toward clearer understanding and healthier coping.

Approaches and online support for meaningful change

Cory Lee draws on approaches that balance listening with practical tools. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's experience by offering empathic listening and acceptance - it helps people gain insight, strengthen self-worth and make decisions that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours; it offers strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and to build more effective coping skills. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns rooted in past relationships and experiences to bring greater awareness to recurring difficulties and emotional responses, which can be helpful for long-standing relationship or attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cory works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the work as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Cory includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from where clients are located, and try formats that suit one's comfort and practical needs. Registered professionals and therapists can use these modes to deliver consistent, focused care across distances.
