About Stefan
Stefan Eckardt works from a systemic counselling and psychotherapy background and has practised for around 10 years. He is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Stefan speaks English and German and offers online and remote session formats to suit different needs.
He meets people who bring stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship struggles. He also helps with parenting strains, sleeping and eating problems, identity and sexuality concerns, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Stefan lists a wide range of additional focus areas, including attachment issues, body image and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to look at relationships and patterns that affect day-to-day life. Stefan uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred ways of talking.
He keeps the conversation practical and grounded so people can try out new ways of handling things between sessions. People who prefer clear, collaborative planning tend to feel comfortable. Stefan encourages small, workable steps and pays attention to what each person brings to the conversation.
His bilingual ability can help people who want to switch between English and German. To begin, a short matching process is used and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary by location and sessions operate through a cancellable subscription model.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Stefan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports action toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns shape reactions and connections.Client-centred work places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening, reflection and the priorities the person sets. Stefan treats the choice of approach as a shared decision - he will help identify which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences and adjust the way he works as the relationship develops.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit practical needs. Video calls are useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or movement is an issue, live chat can offer a quick check-in and text messaging supports shorter, flexible contact. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and what matters to the person.
