About Doreen
Dr. Doreen Fleet is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach. She believes people hold the expertise about their own lives and aims to create a calm, respectful space where they can talk through what matters most. Doreen explains things plainly and helps people take small, clear steps toward change.
She has 23 years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background means she has spent many years supporting people through common life difficulties such as stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, career questions and coping with big life changes.
Doreen uses a mix of methods to suit individual needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Trauma-Focused work alongside her client-centred stance. In sessions she helps people notice thought patterns, develop practical coping tools and bring mindful focus to difficult moments. The aim is to build understanding and workable skills over time.
She is experienced supporting people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stresses, compassion fatigue and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Other areas she addresses include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, body image, guilt and shame, and self-harm concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts people from outside the UK. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to help schedule sessions that fit each person’s situation.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-centred work focuses on your priorities and experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps you decide the next steps. This approach helps when you need a supportive, non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical alternatives. It suits worries like anxiety, panic and low mood by offering step-by-step tools to test thoughts and change behaviours. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences through paced, evidence-informed methods to process stressful memories and reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. That shared decision-making means methods can be blended and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people also find audio-only conversations helpful when they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to help sessions fit everyday life without adding extra strain.
