Dr. Doreen Fleet, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and find their own solutions to problems like low mood or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses straightforward exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new coping skills for anxiety, panic and depression.

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people who are affected by past events that still cause distress. It offers ways to process painful memories and to reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels doable. They will try methods and adjust them based on what helps most, working in collaboration rather than imposing a single way forward.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy work and when visual connection helps communication. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins and for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and they allow people in different locations to access the same therapeutic approaches.
