Dr. Doreen Fleet, BACP

Dr. Doreen Fleet is a BACP-accredited counsellor and Chartered Psychologist with more than two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-centred work and supports people through stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions. Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life while offering guidance and tools that can help day-to-day.

She often combines client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness practices are used to help people manage stress and remain present. When trauma is part of the picture she draws on trauma-focused ideas to help reduce distress and build coping skills.

Dr Fleet has worked with people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and relationship difficulties. She also helps with issues such as body image, abandonment, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Career concerns, midlife shifts and questions about life purpose are within her remit too.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk things through and try simple strategies between sessions. With 23 years of experience, she brings long-term clinical perspective without jargon.

Sessions are conducted from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. Prospective clients who live outside the UK may be matched to her through the service.

How these approaches work online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's perspective at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs time to be heard and to clarify what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, often using short exercises between sessions to build different habits. CBT can help with anxiety, panic and low mood by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Meditative and trauma-focused ideas are also part of her toolkit. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention exercises to reduce stress. Trauma-focused methods help people process distressing events at a pace they can manage.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as the work progresses.

Confirm current session formats with the service before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow quicker check-ins and make attendance simpler around work or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and practices so they are practical and relevant in everyday routines.
