About Doreen
Dr. Doreen Fleet works with people using an approach that centres them and their choices. She combines client-centred listening with practical strategies to help with stress, anxiety, grief and changes at work or home.
Her style is down-to-earth and focused on everyday steps that make life easier. She has 23 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. That background informs a calm, steady way of working.
Sessions start by looking at what matters most to the person and what they want to change.
Background and approach
Dr Fleet uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and to try small behavioural experiments. She also draws on mindfulness to slow racing thoughts and on trauma-focused ways of working when past events continue to cause distress. Typical concerns she helps people with include low self-esteem, panic attacks, depression, anger and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with relationship and family problems, parenting stress, bereavement and issues around identity and body image. Her approach is collaborative. People set the pace and decide which goals matter most.
Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices, practical coping tools and a greater sense of direction. Work is offered in English and is available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Appointments can be arranged by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a suitable time.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tries practical experiments to change patterns. Online CBT works well for anxiety, panic and low mood because worksheets, thought records and behavioural tasks can be shared and reviewed between sessions.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on easing the impact of past distressing events through careful pacing and techniques suited to each person's readiness. Delivered online, it allows people to proceed at a pace that fits their life and to use video or phone formats that feel most manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and shared materials. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or flexible appointments that fit into a busy day.
