DR. HANS DREYER
Pastoral Counsellor
BA. BD. (Pret.), D.Min
Hans completed his BA. BD. at the University of Pretoria in 1968. He was a full time minister for 23 years. During 1983 - 1986 he obtained his Doctorate in Pastoral Counselling in the United States of America at the Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He has been practicing as a counsellor on a full time basis at his practice in Centurion, South Africa, since 1991. Hans and his wife have been happily married for 45 years and are still madly in love. They have four children. The youngest died in 1994. The other three are all working and "doing their own thing".
As a workaholic and go-getter Hans suffered from burnout on several occasions and had to learn how to live with these conditions and how to prevent them. During 1991 he suffered from serious Major Depression (Bi-Polar). Ever since that experience he has specialized in the areas of stress, burnout and depression. There is no one who knows what a depression sufferer has to endure. Having suffered in the same way, he is in a position to assist others using a genuine, working knowledge that he can apply to his patients.
Hans is currently working on a book "BEAT DEPRESSION AND BIPOLAR DISORDER".
