More about Stefan

18 years' experience
Male

Welcome – I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Stefan, a licensed psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience in humanistic counselling and integrative therapy. My background combines educational and psychological expertise with advanced training in systemic and talk therapy, trauma work, Gestalt therapy, stress management, resilience, and positive psychology.

I support children, teens, and adults through challenging life phases – with empathy, clarity, and deep respect for personal and family dynamics.

I’m especially experienced with:

- Anxiety, self-worth, and emotional exhaustion

- School stress, parenting challenges, and family conflict

- LGBTQ+ concerns and identity development

- Burnout, career transitions, and psychosomatic symptoms

- Attachment, trauma, and transgenerational patterns

You’re welcome here – with everything you carry. I offer a safe space for honest conversations and personal growth. I look forward to meeting you.

Language Note:

Therapy sessions are offered in German only. However, I speak and understand English and French – so initial contact or practical questions can be handled in these languages.

About online counselling

Counselling without referrals.: No doctor referral required.
Convenient.: Virtual counselling sessions are a flexible alternative to in-person therapy.
Available now.: Counselling in as little as 48 hours. No waiting list and no calls to make.

Online counselling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counselling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
