I'm Richard Lee, a BACP Accredited trauma therapist based in Bromley and working with clients across London. With specialist Post-Induction Therapy (PIT) training and experience at Priory and Nightingale Hospitals, I help clients process developmental trauma, PTSD, and the lasting impact of difficult childhood experiences — not just by talking about what happened, but by addressing how it lives in your mind, body, and relationships today.
Many people I work with don't identify as having experienced "trauma" — they just know something isn't right. You might describe it as anxiety that won't shift, relationships that keep following the same painful pattern, or a sense of never quite feeling safe or enough.

Talk therapy alone often isn't enough for trauma — because trauma isn't just a story in your mind. It lives in your nervous system, your body, and your relational patterns. My approach integrates Post-Induction Therapy (PIT) with trauma-informed practice to address all three.
The kind of trauma that happens in childhood — neglect, emotional abuse, inconsistent caregiving. It shapes how you see yourself, how you attach to others, and how safe you feel in the world. PIT is specifically designed for this.
Single-event trauma — accidents, assaults, sudden loss. We work with how the body holds these experiences, using grounding and resourcing to process what feels stuck without re-traumatising you.
When the source of safety was also the source of harm — often in families, partnerships, or institutions. We work on rebuilding trust in yourself and others, at a pace that feels manageable to you.
Many people I work with have spent years describing their experience as anxiety, depression, or "just how I am." But when we look closer, there's often a history that explains why they feel this way.
Trauma shows up differently for everyone. If your difficulties trace back to childhood, you may find my guide to how childhood trauma shows up in adult life especially relevant.
For developmental trauma, I work primarily with Post-Induction Therapy (PIT) — Pia Mellody's model, designed specifically to heal the relational wounds of childhood. It's a structured, deeply reparative approach that addresses the five core issues at the heart of developmental trauma.

You don't need to have the words for what happened or even know exactly what's wrong. If you recognise yourself in any of this, let's talk. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to explore whether we might work well together.
