About Doreen
Dr Doreen Fleet is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 23 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self esteem, career problems and anger. Her work also covers trauma, parenting concerns and relationship difficulties.
She prefers a practical, person-focused way of working. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are collaborative and aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage.
Dr Fleet draws on a mix of talking approaches. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person. She also brings cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and to rehearse different ways of responding.
Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and attention when stress and panic build. When past events continue to cause problems, she uses trauma-focused work to help reduce the power those memories hold over day-to-day life.
People often come to her when anger shows up at work, at home or inside relationships. She helps them notice triggers, try new responses and reduce the shame that often follows outbursts. She also supports those coping with caregiver strain, feelings of abandonment, body image worries and periods of isolation.
Practical steps are a recurring theme in her sessions. Clients can expect clear conversations about goals, short exercises between meetings and a focus on skills they can use in everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr Fleet uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to structure online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation follows what matters most to the person and helps identify what they want to change. CBT provides concrete exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with stress and panic. These exercises teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity when anger or anxiety rise. When trauma symptoms are present, trauma-focused techniques aim to lessen the day-to-day impact of distressing memories.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a break at work, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can offer those practical benefits while helping clients bring skills into everyday life.
