About Jurgen
Jurgen Schwarz is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and work-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and German.
He trained with a diploma in counselling and has additional certificates in online and telephone counselling. Professional roles have included work with Mind, the NHS and the Alzheimer’s Society, plus volunteer roles with Cruse Bereavement Support and the Samaritans. These roles have shaped his experience supporting people through loss, major life changes and dementia-related emotional effects.
Jurgen describes his style as open and direct, yet attentive. He listens without judgement and avoids telling clients what to do. Conversations focus on helping people make sense of their feelings and find practical ways to cope day to day.
His practice draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential work and Psychodynamic ideas. These methods are used to look at thoughts, values and long-standing patterns that keep people stuck.
People come for help with a wide range of concerns, from loneliness and anger to career questions and issues related to non-monogamous relationships. Jurgen makes a particular point of welcoming older adults and people from different cultural backgrounds, offering a perspective shaped by his German roots and UK practice.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action based on what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where values and direction are central.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s pace, which can help when someone needs to talk through grief, loneliness or identity questions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills for managing symptoms such as persistent worry or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jurgen will discuss different methods and decide collaboratively which fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single style.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking. His background includes qualifications in online and telephone counselling, but specific delivery options should be confirmed. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s routine. It can also help people who prefer not to use video or who need sessions that fit around work or caring responsibilities.
