Cory Lee, BACP

Cory Lee is a counsellor with five years of practice, offering a calm and non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult moments. He holds BACP accreditation, which he maintains while working with adults and young people. Cory aims to make conversations feel straightforward and practical rather than clinical or distant.

He draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred ways of working. This means sessions often focus on what matters to the person in the room and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Cory listens for patterns in feelings and relationships, and then works with clients to find clearer ways forward.

His background includes work in in-patient CAMHS, adult mental health services, schools, and community settings in the UK and the USA. He has also provided counselling with Mind and supported older adults through bereavement, depression, and anxiety. Those varied settings inform his flexible style and practical sensibility.

People come to him with many concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction and parenting pressures. He welcomes conversations about identity, multicultural concerns, and issues linked to discrimination. Cory describes his role as listening, reflecting, and helping people test new ways of coping and relating.

Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on the client’s goals. Cory encourages small, achievable changes and supports people working through life transitions, attachment difficulties, blended family questions, caregiver stress and other practical problems.

How Cory’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's concerns at the heart of sessions, encouraging open conversation and reflection to help uncover what matters most. It suits people who want to be heard and to build their own goals with a supportive counsellor.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses simple strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress, and can lead to practical exercises to try between meetings.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Cory aims to collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals and preferences. He listens first and adapts methods so sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Confirm the session formats with Cory before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins when life is hectic. Different ways of meeting can suit quieter conversations, shorter check-ins or fuller therapy sessions, so discussing what will work best is part of the first steps.
