HEAL | GROW | AWAKEN | THRIVE
About Lee Bladon
Holistic therapist, coach and author
My Journey
I’m a holistic, integrative and somatic therapist, coach and author. My work has grown out of more than 17 years of exploring what it really means to heal, grow and become more fully yourself.
It began with my own experience. I had a successful career and personal life, but underneath it I was anxious, tense, insecure and unfulfilled, with a feeling that something was missing. For around ten years I looked for answers in books, workshops, psychology and personal development. I learned a great deal, but understanding myself intellectually didn’t change how I felt or who I was.
Everything shifted when I discovered experiential inner work. Rather than thinking about my patterns, I began to meet them directly: my emotional wounds, conditioning and the beliefs I’d formed about myself. As they healed and released, psychological work began opening naturally into spiritual experience, and I came to see that psychology and spirituality aren’t separate, but different dimensions of the same journey into consciousness.
I began to experience something deeper than the identity I had constructed, what I came to understand as my essential self. The shy, anxious, insecure and joyless person I had been gradually gave way to greater confidence, freedom and wholeness, and the spiritual experiences that followed were more profound and beautiful than I could ever have imagined.
I’ve written two books on this path, The Science of Spirituality and Awakening to Wholeness, which explore it in more depth.

Healing and awakening aren’t separate journeys. They’re two dimensions of the same journey.
Becoming a holistic therapist and coach
As my own transformation deepened, I wanted to support other people through similar processes. I trained extensively in psychology, somatic and nervous-system approaches, depth psychology, parts work, transpersonal psychology and spirituality, including Focusing, Hakomi, Internal Family Systems, Psychosynthesis, the Diamond Approach and the InCorr Method. I’ve also invested more than £150,000 in my own development, training and retreats, and it's the best money I have ever spent because the benefits have lasted.
But my greatest teacher has been the inner work itself. I learned that knowing techniques isn’t the same as knowing how to be with another person, and that I’m not responsible for fixing anyone. The more I (and you) get out of the way, the more naturally the work happens.
Nondual perception
As my own consciousness developed, so did my ability to feel into what is happening beneath the surface of another person’s experience. I don’t only listen to what you tell me. I also pay attention to what I sense within your experience: the emotions, patterns, physical responses and deeper material that may not yet be consciously recognised.
This nondual, intuitive way of perceiving means another person’s inner material can sometimes be experienced with surprising clarity, almost as though it were my own. It can reveal things that might otherwise remain hidden, and open up areas of exploration that conversation or intellectual understanding alone may not reach. I’m not claiming every impression is right, so we explore collaboratively, with curiosity and humility, but it’s a significant part of what makes my work different.

I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to help you to discover what's getting in the way of you being fully yourself.
My holistic approach
I don't follow just one model. I bring together psychological, somatic, nervous-system, parts-work, embodied and spiritual perspectives, drawing on whatever is most useful for you. I call it holistic because I work with the whole person: body, heart, mind and soul. Sometimes that means old wounds and emotional patterns, sometimes the body or nervous system, and sometimes deeper questions about identity and who you really are.
I don’t see healing, growth and awakening as separate. Healing resolves what still belongs to the past, growth brings freedom and choice, and awakening is discovering there’s more to you than your conditioning. For some people the journey stays mainly psychological, and for others it opens naturally into questions of consciousness and the nature of the self. There’s no belief system to adopt. The work is about your own direct experience and what’s true for you.
The work I offer
I work 1:1 online, combining spiritual coaching with holistic therapy, with people who sense there’s more to discover. Some are struggling with anxiety, emotional patterns or relationship difficulties. Others understand themselves well, but feel that something deeper hasn’t shifted, or that there’s more to life and more to who they are.
Our work begins wherever you are. I bring my experience, intuition and presence, while you remain responsible for your own journey. Ultimately, this isn’t about becoming a different or more perfected version of yourself. It’s about becoming less constrained by the patterns that have shaped you, and more able to live from something deeper and more authentic. To heal what needs healing, to grow beyond what has limited you, to awaken to what is already there, and to become more fully yourself.

Liberation requires us to take responsibility for our own healing and growth.
Ready to work together?
You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what needs to change. You simply need to sense that something isn’t quite as you’d like it, or that there’s more to who you are, and be open to exploring it. Inner work involves a willingness to look a little deeper, become more aware of yourself and engage with your own process of healing, growth and awakening. It's not about finding a quick fix or having someone else change things for you, but gradually creating the conditions for meaningful and lasting change.
I’m based in Grantham, England, and offer holistic therapy and coaching online via Zoom, with clients across the UK and worldwide. Whether you're ready to begin or simply curious about what's possible, there are a few ways to take the next step:
- Free Chat (30 minutes on Zoom): To talk through what's going on, what you'd like to change, and whether this work is right for you. There's no pressure to book any sessions afterwards.
- Discovery Package (5 x 60-minute Zoom Sessions): To discover more about yourself, understand what holds you down, and begin to find a way forward. A meaningful experience of the work, with no obligation to go further.
- Deepening Package (10 x 60-minute Zoom sessions): To deepen your understanding, explore what lies beneath your patterns, and work towards lasting change. Deep work takes time, so more than one package is often needed.
All packages are paid in full at the time of booking, and sessions must be used within 100 days (Discovery) or 200 days (Deepening). Please read my Policies and Terms & Conditions before booking. After your first Discovery package, you're free to stop or book another, or you can save some money by booking a Deepening package.
What is holistic therapy and coaching?
Holistic therapy and coaching works with the whole person: body, heart, mind and soul. I combine somatic therapy, IFS and inner child healing and nervous system awareness with coaching and spiritual inquiry. Healing and awakening go hand in hand, because unprocessed emotional wounds and patterns tend to hold us back, so we work with both sides of the path. For those drawn to the spiritual path, this includes spiritual mentoring and exploring higher levels of consciousness.
Do you work with spirituality and awakening?
Yes. Spiritual awakening is at the heart of my work, alongside healing the emotional wounds and patterns that hold it back. We explore awareness, identity, meaning and who you are beneath the conditioning you’ve developed. There’s no belief system to adopt, and nothing is imposed.
Is this therapy, coaching or something else?
There are elements of therapy, coaching, personal development and spiritual exploration in my work. Rather than keeping these separate, I see them as different dimensions of the same deeper process of healing, growth and becoming more fully yourself.
Do I need to be spiritual or religious?
No. You don’t need any particular beliefs or practice. If you’re already on a spiritual path, we work with that directly. If you simply sense there’s more to who you are, we start from your own experience. Either way, nothing is imposed on you.
What does it mean that you “feel into” clients?
I pay attention not only to what you tell me, but to what I sense happening beneath your words. I may notice emotions, physical sensations, patterns or other aspects of your experience that you aren't consciously aware of yet. I use this intuitively and collaboratively, rather than assuming my perception is automatically correct.
How is your approach different from conventional therapy?
Talking and psychological understanding can be valuable, but aren't always enough to create deeper change. I work with your whole experience – including your body, emotions, nervous system, patterns and awareness – and bring an intuitive dimension that can reveal things that might otherwise remain hidden.
What if I don't know exactly what I need?
That's completely fine. You don't need to arrive with a clear diagnosis or a plan. We can begin with whatever is most present for you and allow the work to reveal what needs attention.
