Dr. Doreen Fleet
Client-centred therapist with practical strategies
About Doreen
Dr. Doreen Fleet works from a client-centred approach that puts the person and their goals at the heart of therapy. She blends practical techniques with reflective conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.
Doreen draws on 23 years of experience and a BACP credential to guide each conversation with calm and clarity. She helps people who are dealing with life changes, career uncertainty and struggles with motivation.
Background and approach
Doreen also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. Many people come to her for help with anger, depression, panic attacks and feelings of isolation. Her work can also address more specific concerns such as body image, abandonment, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife change.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practises mindfulness techniques to anchor attention in the present. Doreen values a collaborative pace. Conversations aim to uncover strengths, build coping skills and set small, achievable steps.
She invites clients to shape the work so therapy fits their needs and day-to-day life. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people both within the United Kingdom and internationally. The first steps are simple: complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a session that fits your schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. In this work the counsellor listens, reflects and helps people find their own answers. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk through decisions, feelings and life direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, panic and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the ways past harm affects daily life and uses careful, paced methods to reduce distress and build coping skills.
Choosing an approach is part of the therapy process and will be done together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative way helps adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
