Cory Lee , BACP

Cory Lee is an integrative counsellor with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy who works with both adults and young people. He creates a compassionate, genuine, and non-judgmental space where people can explore their lives, learn new skills, and reflect on difficult situations. Holding BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - he draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Over five years of practice, Cory has worked across diverse settings, including in-patient CAMHS and adult mental health services, supporting individuals and families in the community during times of crisis. He has also provided counselling in schools and summer programmes in the United Kingdom and the United States, and has worked alongside Mind and with older adults during bereavement, depression, and anxiety.

Cory aims to be a counsellor people can relate to, listening carefully and helping them work through specific problems or embark on a broader journey of self-discovery and self-care. He uses an integrative approach that combines practical techniques and reflective exploration to support change, coping, and personal growth.

How Cory's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Cory works primarily from Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy perspectives. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental relationship and helps clients explore their feelings and values at their own pace - it can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms - it is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cory collaborates with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and together they decide which methods to use and how to adapt them for online work.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and allow therapy to fit into varied schedules while supporting continuity of care and ongoing progress.
