About Stefan
Stefan Eckardt is a counsellor with ten years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration with work rooted in systemic ideas about how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Stefan speaks English and German and draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs.
Stefan helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He also supports clients dealing with relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma, intimacy and sexual identity questions.
Background and approach
Practical matters such as sleep, eating, parenting and work stress are part of his regular work. His practice combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions aim to identify patterns in relationships and feelings, then try small changes that can ease day-to-day struggles.
Stefan keeps the work straightforward and rooted in what feels useful to each person. Sessions may explore attachment and early experience where relevant, and he can look at issues like abandonment, adoption and blended family dynamics. He also offers help around body image, codependency, control issues and the emotional impact of caregiving.
Stefan uses a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule.

Online support
How emotion-focused and relational approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and behaviour. It helps people name core feelings, see how those feelings affect interactions, and try different ways of responding to improve closeness and understanding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple mindfulness skills and values-based actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and to take small steps towards what matters to them in daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions. It can be useful when patterns of closeness and distance cause repeated hurt or confusion.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one way of working. Sessions can mix ideas from different approaches to suit what emerges in the work.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial expression and tone, which helps emotion-focused work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, written reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on making small, useful changes.
