About Stefan
Stefan Eckardt is a counsellor with ten years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and also supports those coping with trauma and abuse. Stefan speaks English and German and holds BACP registration, which is listed as his professional credential.
His practice uses a systemic viewpoint that looks at relationships and patterns between people. That can mean talking about family ties, close partnerships, or other repeated ways of interacting that affect daily life.
Background and approach
Conversations centre on understanding what is happening now and what small changes might help. Stefan draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clearer communication and noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them.
He aims to make therapy straightforward and grounded in everyday language. People bring many kinds of problems to sessions - from parenting stresses and career pressures to addiction, eating and sleeping issues, and questions about intimacy and identity. Stefan emphasises that each person's situation is unique, so he listens first and then works with clients to find useful ways forward.
Work is collaborative and paced to individual needs. If someone prefers German, he can use that language in sessions. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

How Stefan's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on taking steps that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions in close relationships and helps people communicate needs and respond to one another more effectively.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefan will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that feels sensible. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone calls can work when internet bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options offer flexibility for those balancing work, family and other commitments while still engaging in structured therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
