About Doreen

Dr. Doreen Fleet is a counsellor who draws on person-centred listening alongside cognitive and trauma-focused methods to help people manage life’s challenges. She brings 23 years of practice working with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.

Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life and focuses on practical steps forward. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness and calm, while trauma-focused methods support recovery from past harm. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs. Doreen has worked across many common concerns including depression, panic attacks, relationship difficulties and compassion fatigue.

She also offers help with parenting strain, career crossroads, body image and feelings of emptiness. These are discussed in straightforward terms so people know what to expect. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is noted in her background.

Doreen works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English, including with people who live outside the UK. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. People usually begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.

How Doreen’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood. In online sessions this looks like reflective talking, summarising what matters and following the person’s pace to set goals or next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking patterns that make problems worse and tests small changes to behaviour. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework that can be done between meetings to build new habits.

Trauma-Focused Therapy supports people to gradually process distressing memories and reduce their impact. Over video or phone this can involve paced discussion, grounding techniques and learning coping skills to use afterwards.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust based on feedback. That collaborative process helps decide what really helps and what to change.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered or accredited professional.
