Background and approach
Stefan has four years of professional experience and has worked in both agency settings and independent practice. Stefan’s work draws on attachment-based ideas and person-centred values. He aims to build a steady, empathic connection and help people notice repeating patterns in relationships and feelings.
That often means talking through past experiences and how they influence present behaviour. He also uses emotionally focused ideas to address how people manage strong feelings in close relationships. Practical conversation may include communication habits, boundaries, handling anger and coping strategies for stress or low mood.
Stefan treats each person as an individual and plans sessions around their goals. He supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, work stress and issues linked to attention differences or neurodiversity. The aim is clearer self-understanding and more helpful ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Stefan commonly works with attachment-based approaches and emotionally focused therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating patterns. Emotionally focused therapy concentrates on how people experience and respond to strong feelings in close relationships and helps improve communication and connection.He also draws on client-centred principles that place the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means the therapist aims to listen closely, reflect what is said and work collaboratively so the client sets the pace and goals. Choosing the right approach is a shared process and Stefan will discuss options based on a person's needs, aims and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style work; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed; live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days or provide quick, flexible support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and help maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
