About Stefan Eckardt
Stefan Eckardt specialises in Systemic Counselling and Psychotherapy, an academically grounded approach that focuses on the relationships and patterns that shape people’s lives. He works with individuals, couples, families and groups - including workplace teams and interest groups - using a perspective that explores how interactions and context influence thoughts, emotions and behaviour.
Drawing on the principles described by the UK Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice, Stefan helps people in close relationships express and explore difficult thoughts and feelings, understand one another’s experiences, and identify ways to build on strengths and make practical changes. His practice is suited to those seeking support with relationship difficulties, family concerns, parenting issues, and the wider social dynamics that affect wellbeing.
Stefan’s caseload has included a wide range of presenting concerns such as addiction, self-harm, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and trauma, alongside coaching for identity, culture and spiritual questions, issues around sexuality and intimacy, stress at work and home, and challenges involving social services. He emphasises that no single list of problems can capture a person’s unique experience, and works collaboratively to explore each individual’s situation and solutions.
He integrates established therapeutic methods to suit each client’s needs, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy - EFT, Internal Family Systems and attachment-based work. Stefan holds BACP membership - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers sessions in English and German from his United Kingdom base.

Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best - choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varying life circumstances.
