About Wouter
Dr. Wouter Dreyer offers quiet, steady support for people facing depression and related concerns. He aims to make sessions feel straightforward and humane so clients can talk through what matters most and start finding better balance in day-to-day life.
He works in a collaborative, relational way. Sessions focus on listening carefully to life stories and noticing patterns that keep difficulties going. He helps people link current struggles to earlier experiences and everyday behaviours so change feels understandable and manageable.
Background and approach
Wouter trained at the University of Nottingham and holds a postdoctoral master’s degree in Counselling obtained with distinction. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects his commitment to professional practice. In practical terms he blends different methods to suit the person in front of him.
This can mean using clear, goal-focused steps for immediate problems, looking at deeper life themes over time, or helping people try small experiments between sessions. The emphasis is on approaches that make sense to each client. Over twelve years of work across military, industry and academic settings have given him a broad perspective.
He aims to create a dependable space where people can work through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns and other issues and move toward steadier emotional footing.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses clear steps to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems active. It often includes simple exercises and small experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide whether a shorter, solution-focused path or a deeper psychodynamic exploration is most helpful. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins, homework discussion or a way to maintain momentum between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and make steady progress.
