Dr. Doreen Fleet uses a person-focused way of working that places the client at the centre. She is introduced here as a BACP professional with 23 years of experience.

She talks in straightforward terms and aims to help people take practical steps through difficult times. She draws on client-centred practice to create a respectful space where people can make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can make a difference.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas are also available when they suit the issue at hand. Dr Fleet has long experience with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people facing career challenges, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

She can help with relationship tensions, family problems, anger, depression and the effects of past trauma. Other concerns she addresses include abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, isolation, midlife questions, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and self-harm. She pays attention to how these issues affect daily life and practical functioning.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set goals, try options, and review what works. Anyone considering talking therapy can expect clear language, calm encouragement and down-to-earth tools to try between sessions.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Dr Fleet combines client-centred practice with cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused ideas to help people online. Client-centred work means the conversation follows the person's concerns and values, helping them find their own solutions and build on strengths. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thought patterns and small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, tackle panic attacks and lift low mood. Trauma-focused methods focus on reducing the ongoing impact of past harm and improving coping with triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to understand needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the individual. Plans are reviewed together so adjustments can be made if something does not fit.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typed conversation. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
