About Lee
BACP counsellor with five years' experience, Lee Whelan works mainly with addiction, relationship and mood-related concerns. He offers support for anxiety, depression, trauma and eating issues, and helps people manage parenting strain, grief and major life changes.
Lee speaks plainly in sessions. He listens first, then helps people name what matters to them. He uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing to help people find practical steps forward.
Referrals to his counselling have come from a mix of health and community settings. That background means he is used to working with people facing complex, overlapping problems like substance use, family of origin issues and relationship breakdown.
Sessions aim to tackle specific problems such as communication difficulties, codependency, control issues and disordered eating. He also supports people dealing with anger, dissociation, abandonment and attachment wounds. His practice includes attention to ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue in how they affect daily life.
Lee accepts international clients and runs work in English. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site button.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In remote sessions this might mean talking through relationship patterns and trying new ways to connect or set boundaries.Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and reflecting what a person says. That approach suits discussion-based sessions where the counsellor follows the client’s pace and highlights their own goals and strengths.
Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thought and behaviour and test small, repeatable changes. Online sessions can use short exercises and homework to practise new responses between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one route from the start.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit sessions into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins and reduces travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the work to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or a shorter slot at lunch, depending on what the client needs.
