About Wouter
Dr. Wouter Dreyer is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship challenges. He also sees people dealing with trauma, parenting concerns, addictions and life changes.
He uses a relational, reflective and collaborative way of working. Sessions focus on how early experiences and family patterns shape current feelings and reactions. Conversations aim to make sense of what keeps repeating and to reduce the power of those patterns.
Dr Dreyer blends practical and exploratory methods. He draws on client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person. He uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper emotional patterns.
People who want both short-term problem solving and longer-term reflection often choose to work with him. He can help with grief, intimacy-related issues, career stress, bipolar management concerns and attention-related difficulties, among other issues. His wider focus includes adoption and foster care, fatherhood matters and midlife transitions.
His background includes work across military, industry and academic settings. That experience informs a steady, measured approach in sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first appointment through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they fit
Dr Dreyer commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in his sessions. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows what matters most to the person, offering reflective listening to help make difficult feelings easier to describe and understand. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practising different behaviours to reduce anger and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest whether practical CBT techniques, deeper psychodynamic exploration, or a mix would suit the client's needs. This is decided together and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter catch-ups when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find it helps them keep continuity of sessions while managing everyday demands.
