About Wouter
Dr. Wouter Dreyer is a BACP-registered counsellor with 12 years' experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting pressures and anger. He also helps people facing grief, trauma, self-esteem issues and life changes who want clearer thinking and steadier reactions.
He uses a relational and collaborative way of working. Sessions focus on making sense of life events and family patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations are practical and reflective, aimed at noticing how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour.
When anger or resentment shows up, he looks at the triggers and the situations that keep those reactions alive. That includes exploring thoughts, habits and the relationships tied to strong feelings. He encourages concrete experiments between sessions to try different responses in real life.
His practice draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Solution-focused tools are used where short-term, practical change is the priority. This mix lets him move between understanding deeper patterns and working on immediate coping strategies.
Across military, industry and academic settings he has worked with a wide range of adult concerns. If someone wants help with their temper, workplace frustration, or the strain of living with another person’s anger, he offers steady, plain-speaking support focused on clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr Dreyer combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic perspectives. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people describe their experience so they can decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behaviour, offering practical exercises to reduce anger, anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and events shape current reactions and helps identify long-standing patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s situation. That collaboration means sessions can shift towards direct skills practice, deeper reflection, or both as needed.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use sessions to practise new responses, plan small experiments between meetings, and build steadier ways of managing anger and stress.
