Dr. Wouter Dreyer

Dr. Wouter Dreyer helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety and life changes find steadier ground. He writes and talks plainly so clients can quickly see what to expect. He aims to make the first steps manageable and clear for those who are uncertain about therapy.

He draws on 12 years of experience in different settings, including military, industry and academia. He trained at the University of Nottingham and holds a postdoctoral master’s degree in Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

His way of working is relational and collaborative. Sessions focus on being heard, noticing patterns that repeat, and understanding how past events influence current feelings and reactions. Practical steps are woven into reflective work so people can try things between sessions.

People come to him for many reasons - anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting questions, addiction issues, anger, ADHD and other concerns. He also supports those wanting deeper self-understanding or longer-term change rather than quick fixes.

When the work goes deeper, he helps clients look at family patterns, attachment and life story themes that shape behaviour. Over time this can reduce repeated difficulties and help build more compassionate ways of relating to oneself and others. He treats therapy as a joint process that respects both strength and vulnerability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where a person can make sense of their feelings. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief and managing strong emotions by prioritising the client’s perspective and pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses clear, practical techniques to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, anger and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions stay short-term and goal-focused or become longer-term and reflective.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time or making it simpler to schedule appointments around work or family commitments. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools from these approaches for remote work to support progress between sessions.
