More about Stefan

- BACP, NCPS
I am a therapeutic counsellor credentialed in the UK, MBACP Registered Member and a member of the NCPS. I hold a Foundation Degree (with Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and I am experienced in working with clients both in an Agency setting and in my Private Practice, Online and In-Person.
I am trained to work within an Integrative Approach, which draws on the Psychodynamic and Person-Centred theories, although I may often use interventions informed by different therapeutic approaches that became known to me during extensive continuous professional development.
I specialise in working one to one with a range of experiences, including anxiety, depression, relationships challenges, self-esteem, stress, anger management, loss, bereavement as well as many others, or purely entering a new chapter in your life. We are all different and each of our experiences are different, most times hard to label and put in boxes.
I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the exploration of the unconscious mind. In a safe and empathic space, we will explore your emotions and experiences to uncover underlying patterns, enhance self-awareness, healing and ultimately, positive feelings.
Our collaboration will be based on an empathic and genuine connection, where I deeply respect your unique experience.
Before anything, I am here for you to feel listened to, and truly heard, become comfortable to address the struggles in facing your challenges.
Your goals are at the forefront of our work together, and I am dedicated to helping you meet them or explore them further. Your agenda becomes our agenda, guiding our therapeutic journey.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I adhere to their Ethical and Professional Framework, which involves (but is not limited to) undertaking personal supervision in assuring that I offer a safe, ethical and professional service.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
