Sessions focus on understanding how early experiences and family patterns shape current thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
That exploration helps people spot repeated patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Some people come for short-term help with a clear problem. Others choose longer work aimed at deeper self-understanding.
In longer therapy, the aim is to heal old wounds and build more helpful habits over time. Dr. Dreyer trained to a high academic standard and holds a postdoctoral master’s degree in Counselling with distinction from the University of Nottingham.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has practised for 12 years across military, industry and academic settings. That background informs a balanced, experienced approach that combines practical strategies with reflective listening.
People can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can try between sessions.

How Wouter works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear steps and practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and some patterns of addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then tailor sessions to that. They aim to be collaborative so clients can try different ways of working and keep what helps most.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access reflective conversation and practical exercises from their everyday environment while planning how to use what they learn in daily life.
