About Stefan
Stefan Eckardt is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. He holds BACP accreditation, and he works with individuals on issues such as stress, anxiety and depression. He speaks English and German and uses conversational, down-to-earth language in sessions.
Stefan’s background is in systemic ways of understanding relationships and patterns. He pays attention to how people connect with others and how those connections shape feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
This perspective is useful when relationships, family dynamics or work teams affect wellbeing. In sessions he combines practical methods with a calm, client-centred style. He may use cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values and next steps.
Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas help when feelings and close bonds are central to the issue. Stefan supports people with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, trauma, intimacy and parenting struggles. He also helps with career stress, sleeping or eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.
He treats each situation as individual and builds a plan around what works for that person. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and are handled through a cancellable subscription.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled to suit the client and therapist.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feelings and trust. In remote work this may involve talking through relationship patterns, mapping important connections and practising different ways of relating during day-to-day life, useful for intimacy and family-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefan will discuss different methods and collaborate to choose what fits the client’s goals and preferences. He adapts strategies over time based on what helps most, so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy is available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to offer flexibility. Video suits longer conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging helps keep a record of ideas between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
