Dr. Wouter Dreyer, BACP

Dr. Wouter Dreyer helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes find steady support and practical ways forward. He offers a calm, attentive presence and aims to make conversations easy to follow. Many people come for help with relationships, trauma, parenting concerns, addiction or self-esteem, and he draws on a range of methods to suit each person.

He works in a collaborative, relational way that puts the person's experience at the centre. Sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns that repeat in life, and linking past experiences to current feelings. This plain, reflective style is useful for people who want both short-term coping strategies and deeper personal work.

Dr. Dreyer 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 background includes twelve years of practice across military, industry and academic settings, which gives him a broad perspective on different life challenges.

In therapy he mixes practical techniques with reflective conversation. That might mean trying new ways to manage anxiety, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, or exploring early relationships that shape current reactions. He aims to help people develop kinder self-talk and healthier ways of relating.

Sessions are presented in straightforward language and paced to the individual's needs. The goal is clearer choices, less reactivity, and steady progress toward the life the person wants.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Client‑centred therapy puts the person's experience first and involves attentive listening and empathy to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can be especially useful for those seeking understanding of emotional patterns and wanting a gentle, respectful space to talk.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts and stress, and can provide clear tools to manage symptoms between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and may combine methods to suit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process that adapts as progress is made.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions can be a lower bandwidth option, chat is useful for brief check‑ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats give flexibility in scheduling and let people choose what feels most practical for them.
