About Jurgen
Jurgen Schwarz is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. He uses a calm, direct style and offers time to talk things through at a pace that feels right for each person. He trained to a diploma level in counselling and holds BACP accreditation.
He has four years of professional experience and has worked alongside charities and health services, including Mind, the NHS, and the Alzheimer’s Society. He has also volunteered with bereavement and crisis support organisations.
Background and approach
Jurgen brings a cross-cultural perspective as a German living in the UK. That blend of straightforwardness and warmth helps people spot new ways of looking at old problems. He aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about by focusing on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon.
People commonly seek support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression and work-related pressure. He also helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, loneliness, anger and issues linked to life transitions and caring for others. Jurgen welcomes adults from different backgrounds and offers a particular welcome to older adults.
In sessions he listens without judgement and works collaboratively to find helpful ways forward. Practical tools and reflective conversation are both part of his approach. He does not promise to remove problems but aims to help people discover new coping strategies and clearer direction.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to clarify what really matters so they can take practical steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship so people feel heard and can explore their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Jurgen will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He adapts sessions over time, combining practical skills and reflective conversation as needed so the plan fits the individual.
Online therapy with Jurgen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and short check-ins suit busy days through messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility needs while keeping a steady therapeutic connection.
