Stefan Alban Kraus

I am very passionate in my work with individuals and couples of all age groups and have experience in exploring together with my clients challenging life experiences such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, sexuality, relationship problems, attachment and separation, loss and grief, and identity problems.

For a therapeutic and healing process I invite my clients into a safe, welcoming, and confidential space, where they can feel comfortable to lead the sessions without any pressure and at their own pace. As therapist, I support my clients by being empathetic, by listening and being curious, and by validating their experience in a non-judgemental way. Depending on their unique needs I make use various approaches from different theories and schools, with the aim for them to gain better self-knowledge and to allow personal growth.

In addition to the classic talking therapy, I also offer the possibility to use non-verbal forms of communication such as artmaking and play, which at times can be very helpful when words fail, and when our thinking and reasoning feel overwhelming or blocked. I believe that non-verbal creativity within a therapeutic setting can be healing and nurturing. 

I am interested in offering psychotherapy to all members of our society and offer concession rates for those in difficult financial positions.

I also work for as art psychotherapist for Putney High School, London.
