He also helps with self-esteem, career decisions and the emotional impact of cancer. Other focus areas include control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose and first responder concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and German for people living in the United Kingdom. Stefan works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can pick the format that suits them best. Stefan holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP in his profile.
He aims for clear, practical conversations rather than jargon, and helps people break large problems into manageable steps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Stefan works with evidence-based techniques that focus on clear thinking and practical changes. One common approach helps people notice anxious thoughts, test how accurate they are and try different responses to reduce their hold. This method is useful for day-to-day anxiety and stress because it teaches simple steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns.Another approach focuses on behaviour and routine. It looks at small changes in what someone does each day to build confidence and reduce overwhelm. That can help with low mood, work stress, self-esteem and regaining a sense of control after difficult events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat can fit into a short break or be used for ongoing check-ins. These options aim to make it simpler to get care around work, family and other commitments.
