Dr. Doreen Fleet

Dr. Doreen Fleet is a counsellor who combines practical talking therapy with a focus on personal strengths. She uses straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem and body image. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, career strain and relationship or parenting concerns.

She works from the view that each person knows their life best. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and choosing steps that feel doable. Her background includes long experience working with trauma and bereavement, and she draws on approaches that help people make sense of difficult experiences.

Her practice brings together client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. That mix aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioural changes, and build steady coping skills. She also uses existential ideas to help clients consider meaning, values and life direction.

Doreen has 23 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. She works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. International clients are accepted, and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. This process helps match goals and make practical arrangements before the first meeting.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It involves open conversation, reflective listening and helping clients find their own solutions; this can be very useful for people coping with grief, low self-worth or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behaviour experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic and improve body image or eating-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what each person needs and how they prefer to work.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include greater flexibility and easier fitting of sessions into busy lives. Online meetings can make it simpler to schedule appointments around work or caring duties and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not specify formats, confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
