About Wouter
Dr. Wouter Dreyer welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or sudden changes in life. He writes in plain terms and aims to help people make sense of their experiences.
He focuses on helping people build steadier emotional ground and clearer next steps. He takes a relational and collaborative approach. Sessions centre on listening and understanding how earlier experiences and family patterns shape current feelings and choices.
How Wouter works
Conversations often explore what keeps old patterns alive and how to try different ways of relating to oneself and others. People come for short-term practical solutions or for longer-term reflection. Short work can focus on immediate coping and problem-solving.
Longer work looks at deeper issues such as attachment, grief, or recurring relationship difficulties. Dr Dreyer 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, BACP.
He has twelve years of experience across military, industry and academic settings. That background contributes a calm, steady presence during difficult conversations. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online via several formats.
Practical matters are discussed at the start so therapy fits day-to-day life. People are supported to set personal goals and to try small, doable steps between sessions.

Online support options
Approaches online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy places the persons experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the person find their own understanding and solutions, which can help with low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and goal-based work to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to match the persons goals, pace and preferences. That means short-term problem solving or longer reflective work can be blended as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow conversations that feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life and to choose the format that best suits each moment.
