About Wouter
Dr. Wouter Dreyer offers a calm, attentive space for people facing anxiety, depression, stress and relationship strain. He focuses on helping individuals understand how past experiences shape present thoughts and feelings.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what each person needs right now. He uses a relational, reflective style that aims to make clients feel genuinely heard. Conversations look at family patterns, early experiences and life events that still affect everyday life.
Background and approach
This often helps people break old habits, build kinder self-talk and improve how they connect with others. Dr Dreyer blends different approaches to suit each person. He draws on client-centred methods to keep the person’s experience front and centre.
Cognitive techniques are used when changes in thoughts and behaviour are a clear goal. He also offers psychodynamic-inspired reflection for those who want to understand deeper roots of their struggles. Solution-focused ideas are available when people want practical steps and short-term progress.
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, which he lists as BACP. His clinical experience spans over twelve years across military, industry and academic settings.
Sessions are available in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People looking to begin can follow the site’s sign-up process to match with him and arrange sessions according to his schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Dr Dreyer commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in his online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers; it is useful when someone needs understanding and emotional support. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours maintain problems and offers practical strategies for reducing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the therapeutic focus.
