Background and approach
Those memberships guide his professional standards and ongoing development. His practice draws on several approaches while placing the therapeutic relationship first. Sessions aim to help people recognise patterns in their feelings and behaviours.
Stefan uses direct conversation, reflection and gentle challenge to help clarify what matters to each person. He often works with attachment themes and relationship dynamics, and he uses Existential ideas to help people make sense of life transitions and meaning. Emotionally-Focused and client-centred ways of working also shape how sessions proceed, with room for practical coping strategies when needed.
Clients can expect a collaborative style where their goals set the direction. Stefan explains options, listens closely and adapts the pace to each person. The work may involve looking at past experiences, current relationships and practical steps to manage stress or mood.

Online support
Therapy approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Stefan often combines Existential Therapy with Attachment-Based and client-centred ways of working. Existential Therapy helps people think about meaning, choice and life transitions and can be useful when facing big changes or feelings of emptiness. Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust, communication and emotion regulation. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience and goals at the heart of sessions and uses empathic listening to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Stefan will listen to your needs and preferences, explain different ways of working and agree on a plan together. That means methods can shift over time as your goals and circumstances change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or travel commitments while exploring emotional and relational issues with a registered or accredited professional.
