About Stefan Eckardt
Stefan Eckardt practices systemic counselling and psychotherapy, a relationship-focused approach that examines how people’s connections shape their experiences. Based in the United Kingdom, he works with individuals, couples, families and groups - including workplace teams and interest groups - to explore patterns, meanings and interactions that contribute to distress or block change. Stefan brings ten years of clinical experience to helping people navigate issues such as addiction, self-harm, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and sexuality, parenting challenges, stress at work and problems involving social services.
Systemic work often overlaps with other therapeutic methods, and Stefan integrates practical, evidence-informed techniques tailored to each person’s situation. He is accredited with the BACP - the professional association for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK - which reflects his training and commitment to professional standards. Stefan approaches each case as unique, aiming to build on strengths, clarify patterns in relationships, and support clients in finding workable changes that fit their lives.

Integrating relational approaches with flexible online care
Stefan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on taking meaningful actions that match their values - it is often useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections and emotional responses, helping with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and attachment-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefan works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as the work progresses so therapy remains practical and personally relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide more flexibility and easier access to care. These formats allow people to engage from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and maintain continuity of support when circumstances change. Registered professionals like Stefan use these options to deliver consistent therapeutic work while tailoring the pace and style to each client.
