About Doreen
Dr. Doreen Fleet is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career pressures and parenting concerns. Her background also includes trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and caring-related stress.
Her approach starts from the view that people know their own story best. She uses client-centred conversation to listen and clarify what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods can be used to spot unhelpful patterns and try practical changes. Trauma-focused work is available where past hurts affect daily life.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on day-to-day problems. She helps people break big issues into small steps. That can mean coping strategies for panic or breathing work for anxiety, or practical changes to routines that affect sleep and mood.
Dr Fleet also brings existential ideas about meaning and values into conversations about life purpose and midlife changes. Mindfulness practices may be suggested to reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment noticing.
People often come wanting more confidence, relief from guilt or shame, or help managing family pressures. She supports those coping with loss, abandonment, body image concerns and isolation. The emphasis is on practical, usable tools and on making steady progress together.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dr Fleet combines client-centred methods with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people make changes that matter. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping someone clarify their priorities. It suits people who need a steady, understanding space to talk through family strain and parenting pressures. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and supports practical experiments to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan together. That mix of conversation and practical tools is adjusted as progress is made. The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use quieter surroundings or turn off video if they prefer, and can be scheduled around work or childcare commitments.Areas of focus
