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 counseling 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.

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 counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
