About Wouter

Dr. Wouter Dreyer welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma or life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely to help people make sense of painful experiences.

His work aims to reduce distress and build steadier ways of coping. He uses a relational, reflective and collaborative style. Sessions focus on understanding how earlier experiences, family patterns and big life events still affect feelings and behaviour today.

This awareness helps people spot and change repeating patterns that cause pain.

Background and approach

Many come for short-term help with practical problems and symptom relief. Others choose longer-term work to look deeper at self-worth, relationships and identity. In either case, conversations are paced to suit what a person can manage in the room.

Dr Dreyer holds a postdoctoral master’s degree in Counselling with distinction from the University of Nottingham and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He has around 12 years of professional experience across military, industry and academic settings.

Typical areas he supports include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting concerns and ADHD. He also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, fatherhood matters and end-of-life counselling. Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit the person’s needs.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions at agreed times.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and understood without judgement. It helps people who need a steady empathic space to talk through feelings and build self-acceptance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and what has worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasise reflective exploration, structured CBT techniques or a mix of methods that fits the person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people keep in touch between longer sessions or choose a format without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
