Dr. Wouter Dreyer
Calm, practical therapy for lasting change
About Wouter
Dr. Wouter Dreyer helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or painful life changes. He offers straightforward, calm support that aims to make day-to-day life easier.
He responds with patience and attention so people feel heard and understood from the first session. He uses a relational and reflective approach that focuses on the person in front of him. Sessions look at how early experiences, family patterns and major events shape current feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
People often come seeking relief from specific issues and leave with a clearer sense of themselves. Wouter blends practical techniques with deeper exploration. That can mean trying small experiments between sessions or examining past patterns that still cause pain.
He adapts the pace to what each person needs, whether that is shorter-term problem solving or a longer course of work. He trained at the University of Nottingham and holds a postdoctoral master’s degree in Counselling with distinction.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and has 12 years of experience across military, industry and academic settings. Typical areas he addresses include relationship issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addiction, mood problems and difficulties with self-esteem. He also works with people facing career changes, midlife challenges, attachment concerns and obsessive patterns.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How different approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood. Online sessions using this approach give space to talk through feelings and priorities while the counsellor reflects what matters most to the person.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In online work this often involves setting small experiments between sessions and reviewing what did or did not help.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether a listening-focused or more structured method suits their goals and current life situation. This conversation guides how sessions are organised and what to try first.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping a consistent course of support.
