About Doreen

Dr. Doreen Fleet draws on a client-centred way of working to help people manage anxiety, stress and panic symptoms. She brings 23 years of experience and an emphasis on listening first. Her approach starts by hearing each person's story and building on strengths that already exist.

She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep worry and panic active. Mindfulness practices are offered to teach breathing and grounding skills that can reduce the intensity of panic episodes. Trauma-focused methods are available when past events affect current wellbeing.

Work with her is collaborative. Sessions focus on clear, step-by-step strategies that people can try between meetings. She also explores values, meaning and life direction when clients want to consider deeper changes.

Dr Fleet is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and practices in the United Kingdom. Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients.

Many people seek her help for panic disorder and panic attacks, grief, relationship strain, career uncertainty and low self-esteem. She supports people working through caregiver stress, body-image concerns, feelings of emptiness and other painful experiences. To begin, clients use the site's matching process and then arrange appointments based on the therapist's schedule.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience, with the counsellor offering understanding and reflection to help the client make choices. It is useful for people who want space to talk through feelings and find their own direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and test them. CBT is commonly used for panic, anxiety and stress because it includes practical exercises to reduce symptoms between sessions.

Mindfulness approaches bring attention to breathing and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity during panic episodes. Simple grounding and breathing exercises are practised during sessions and can be used in everyday moments when anxiety rises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work when they are in different time zones, which is useful for international clients.
