About Wouter
Dr. Wouter Dreyer is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has 12 years of professional experience and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
He works in a reflective and collaborative way. Sessions focus on understanding how early life and family patterns shape current thoughts and feelings. He uses practical conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try new ways of responding.
Dr. Dreyer’s background includes a postdoctoral master’s degree in Counselling with distinction from the University of Nottingham. He has worked across military, industry and academic settings, which informs a measured clinical perspective. He describes his method as relational and reflective, placing attention on life stories and recurring patterns.
In sessions he combines different approaches to match the person’s problem and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches he uses to help people notice thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past experiences affect present reactions.
People who want practical, structured work alongside deeper reflection often prefer this mix. He supports those wanting short-term change as well as those exploring longer-term personal questions. To begin, clients use the site matching process and schedule a first session once matched.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr Dreyer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas in his practice. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic work looks at how early relationships and past events influence current feelings and repeated patterns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He works collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person’s goals and situation, and may combine practical CBT techniques with reflective exploration over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep appointments from work breaks or from a quieter location, and can remove the need to be on camera for the whole session if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tasks and worksheets so the therapeutic work continues between sessions.
