About Stefan

Background and approach
He has four years of professional experience in agency settings and in independent practice, online and in person. Stefan uses an integrative approach that draws on psychodynamic ideas and person-centred principles. He also draws on emotionally-focused and attachment-based ways of working when these fit the situation.
The aim is to help people notice repeated patterns and respond to them differently. In sessions he prioritises a warm, empathic connection. He listens carefully to what matters to each person and helps set goals that reflect their priorities.
Conversations often look at feelings, past experiences and relationships to find practical ways forward. People can expect a collaborative process that treats their concerns as unique. Stefan supports work on self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger, communication and coping with life transitions, among other areas.
He explains options clearly so people can choose what feels right for them.

How attachment and person-centred work translate online
Stefan often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand emotional needs and improve how they relate to others. He also works in a Client-Centred way, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person lead the conversation. That method helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stefan will talk about different ways of working and suggest options based on your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - you and he decide what fits best as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can support face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family life, and to continue therapy when in different locations.
