About Stefan

Stefan Eckardt brings ten years of clinical experience to his counselling practice in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which he uses to guide practical, relationship-focused work. Stefan speaks English and German and aims to make talking about hard things straightforward and manageable.

Stefan focuses on the connections between people and how those links shape stress and anxiety. He helps people unpack relationship patterns, family tensions, and the lasting effects of trauma or loss.

Background and approach

He also supports those facing addiction, mood changes, or big life transitions. Sessions emphasise clear goals and steady steps. Stefan blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-focused and emotionally focused work.

He uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of relating, and practise small, realistic changes. People can expect a calm, direct style that centres their priorities. Conversations are plain and practical, with time spent on what matters most to the person in front of him.

Stefan also offers coaching-style support for career or motivation challenges. He provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, users follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports committed action towards chosen values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and build new habits for sleep, mood and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan fits the person's life and needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments, and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
