About Jurgen
Jurgen Schwarz is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience and BACP registration. He works with people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost and offers a steady, listening presence for those moments.
He supports people with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness and anger. He also helps with work-related stress and the emotional effects of dementia, and welcomes older adults in particular. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical ways forward rather than quick fixes.
Jurgen trained with a counselling diploma and has completed additional certificates in online and telephone counselling. His background includes roles with Mind, the NHS and the Alzheimer’s Society, plus volunteering with Cruse Bereavement Support and the Samaritans. This mix of settings informs a pragmatic, experience-based approach.
As a German living in the UK he brings a cross-cultural outlook that combines directness with clarity. He aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Work in sessions can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, personal values, and life meaning.
People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical techniques tend to find his style useful. He invites people to take small steps toward clearer thinking and improved coping. To begin, potential clients use the online matching process and then schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions that reflect those values. It helps with feelings like anger, anxiety and low mood by shifting attention toward what matters most rather than fighting unwanted thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. It suits worries, low mood and work-related stress where specific thinking and behaviour changes can reduce distress.
Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person’s own perspective, giving space to talk things through and to be heard. This approach supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem issues and life transitions by focusing on their experience and priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jurgen will discuss the different methods and help decide which fits a person’s goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change as people try things and notice what helps.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as these details are set by the service. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, use short sessions around work breaks, or meet without needing to travel, while still allowing the therapist and client to focus on real problems and everyday coping.
