About Doreen

Dr Doreen Fleet works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and life changes using a person-focused approach that centres the client's experience. She is a BACP member and has 23 years' professional experience in the UK.

Doreen uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most to them. She listens to the facts of each situation and helps people consider options and next steps. Sessions often include practical strategies for day-to-day coping alongside space to reflect on meaning and values.

Her experience covers common emotional difficulties such as panic and depression, and specific challenges like caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people working through relationship and family problems, parenting strain, body image and issues around abandonment and shame.

Therapeutic methods she draws on include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential ideas and trauma-focused approaches. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and grounding when appropriate.

People can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on practical steps as well as wider questions about purpose and choices. Sessions aim to make overwhelming problems easier to manage and to clarify what a person wants to change next.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what matters and which steps to take next.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic and low mood. It is often used for stress management and when immediate coping strategies are needed.

Trauma-focused approaches concentrate on reducing the lasting effects of distressing events. They include paced work to manage triggers and build coping skills for post-traumatic stress and related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together, adapting methods as needs change. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins, not needing to be on camera, or reduced travel time, which helps with keeping therapy consistent.
