Stefan Eckardt

Stefan Eckardt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. He holds BACP accreditation and brings a relational outlook to the problems people bring. Stefan often helps with anger, stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties, as well as issues such as addiction, trauma, parenting and identity concerns.

He began working in systemic counselling and psychotherapy because he values how relationships shape everyday life. That background means he listens for patterns between people and looks at how interactions keep problems going. Sessions focus on what is happening between people as much as what happens inside an individual.

Stefan uses several practical approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and act on it. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep people stuck. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ways of working support conversations about connection and closeness.

In the room he aims to make things straightforward. Conversations stay real and grounded. He helps people name what is difficult, try small changes, and work out next steps that fit their life.

People come for a wide range of concerns, from trouble sleeping or parenting strain to anger and coping with big life changes. Stefan also supports those dealing with identity, sexual culture or adoption and foster care matters. He works in English and German and frames his approach around each person's goals and situation.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Stefan works with methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy that adapt well to conversation-based sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values, notice unhelpful patterns, and take concrete steps towards what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help when working on connection and anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefan will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they test ways of working and adjust methods if something is not helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady work on relationship patterns and emotion regulation using exercises and reflection between sessions.
