Dr. Doreen Fleet , BACP

Dr. Doreen Fleet is a UK-based therapist with 23 years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, career concerns, and the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse. She brings a compassionate, strengths-focused stance to therapy, helping clients identify the resources they already possess and applying those strengths to overcome obstacles and work toward a more fulfilling life.

She is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a professional accreditation that indicates adherence to national counselling standards - and is also recognised as a Chartered Psychologist by the British Psychological Society (BPS), which reflects advanced training and professional standing in psychology. Working in the United Kingdom, she draws on approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, existential perspectives, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused work to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Dr. Fleet sees clients as experts in their own stories and emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which therapist and client work together to address concerns like low self-esteem, panic, grief, caregiver stress, loneliness, and midlife transitions. Taking that first step toward change often requires courage, and she offers steady guidance and practical tools to help clients move toward greater resilience and clearer life direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dr. Doreen Fleet uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building self-awareness to address issues like low self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression and to develop practical coping strategies. For those affected by traumatic events, trauma-focused therapy is used to process difficult memories and reduce trauma-related distress while restoring a sense of safety and control.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Fleet collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options openly and adjusts the plan over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Dr. Fleet is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from varied locations and allow clients to continue work through life transitions, travel, or other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
