About Doreen
Dr. Doreen Fleet offers a warm, person-centred way of working that aims to help parents and individuals feel more able to cope. She draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive and mindfulness approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and the strain that life changes bring.
Dr Fleet uses straightforward language and a calm manner to make conversations easier to follow. She has 23 years of experience working with people facing grief, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and trauma-related difficulties.
Background and approach
Her background includes many years of therapeutic practice in the United Kingdom, and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions she aims to listen first and then share practical steps that suit each person. That might mean noticing automatic thoughts, practising short mindfulness exercises, or looking at values and life direction.
The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Parents who are struggling with overwhelm, family tensions, or parenting-related stress can bring those everyday problems and get help to build coping strategies. She also supports people dealing with anger, depression, panic, and issues around identity and relationships.
Dr Fleet accepts international clients and works in English. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which helps people fit therapy around busy lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and offering non-judgemental listening; online sessions allow that same attentive, conversational space to unfold and help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect; in remote work this often involves short exercises, thought records and practical homework that can be shared between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact, using paced, stabilising techniques and grounding strategies suited to the individual's needs.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try out methods and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps someone feel better in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits modern parenting and busy schedules. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare or travel while still focusing on practical tools and emotional support.
