About Doreen
Dr. Doreen Fleet is a BACP counsellor with 23 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career challenges and coping with life changes. She also addresses concerns related to trauma and abuse, relationships, parenting, anger and depression.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and existential approaches. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits. She encourages practical steps that fit into everyday life so people can try different ways of responding.
Doreen works with people who face recurring worry, panic symptoms, or the after-effects of trauma. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and issues around abandonment or shame. Her practice covers body image, loneliness, life purpose and midlife transitions.
Her way of working is collaborative. She listens first and then helps identify small, manageable goals. Techniques may include structured thinking exercises, mindfulness practices and exploring values to inform choices.
Over two decades of practice have included one-to-one sessions addressing emotional and practical problems. She accepts international clients who can work in English. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online options provided.
How cognitive and experiential approaches work online
Dr Doreen Fleet commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try practical alternatives. CBT is helpful for anxiety, panic symptoms, low mood and problem-solving in daily life.She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions begin with listening and building a shared understanding of the issues. Existential ideas are used to explore purpose, values and how decisions fit with what matters to the person.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan that suits the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and may change as work progresses.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking using the platform’s online options. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving and travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings without a commute. If video or audio is difficult, discuss alternatives when arranging the first appointment so sessions can fit into everyday life.
