About Jurgen
Jurgen Schwarz is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. Jurgen aims to listen closely and help clients find practical ways to live with their feelings rather than promising quick fixes.
He holds a diploma in counselling and has additional certifications in online and telephone counselling. Jurgen has worked with Mind, the NHS, and the Alzheimer’s Society, and he has volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Support and the Samaritans.
Background and approach
That mix of settings gives him experience supporting people through difficult moments. As a German living and working in the UK, Jurgen brings a cross-cultural perspective to sessions. He blends directness with warmth and tries to help clients see situations from a fresh angle.
This can uncover new ways of understanding long-standing emotional issues. People often seek his help for grief and loss, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, anger, work stress and the emotional effects of dementia. He also lists LGBT and relationship concerns among his areas of focus and welcomes older adults in particular.
Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and practical coping skills alongside deeper self-understanding. Jurgen uses several therapeutic styles to match individual needs and goals. If someone is unsure where to begin, he encourages a short first conversation to find a good fit.

How Jurgen’s approaches translate to online work
Jurgen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can ease anxiety and increase purpose. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy to offer empathetic listening and support that helps people feel heard and more able to talk about difficult things.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jurgen will discuss what matters most to the individual and try different methods if needed, so the approach fits the person’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. It can also let people take part from wherever they are based in the UK, and it supports continuing contact between sessions when that suits the client and therapist.
