Dr. Doreen Fleet, BACP

Dr. Doreen Fleet works in a way that centres each person’s experience and choices. She uses straightforward, collaborative talking therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make changes that matter to them.

She draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques, to tailor sessions to practical needs. That can mean looking at thinking patterns that increase anxiety, or helping someone make sense of loss and rebuild confidence. She also uses mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas where they fit the situation.

Dr Fleet has over 23 years of experience in the field and holds BACP accreditation. Her background includes work with a wide range of life concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, career planning and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how day-to-day pressures and past hurt can shape reactions now.

In sessions she focuses on small, manageable steps that add up over time. Conversations aim to identify what’s possible next, and to strengthen the client’s own resources. The therapist and client set goals together and review progress as therapy continues.

People can expect practical ideas as well as space to talk through difficult feelings. Language used is plain and direct, and work is paced to suit each person’s needs. If uncertain about formats or scheduling, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says, helping them find their own solutions. It suits people who want an accepting, exploratory space to talk through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises. It can help with anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful thinking habits by breaking problems into manageable steps.

The therapist will treat finding the right approach as part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then adapt methods together. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and daily life, and to keep up regular appointments from different locations. Some practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is tight and options that remove travel time.
