About Jurgen
Jurgen Schwarz is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. Sessions are intended to be gentle and respectful of each person’s timing and needs.
He holds a diploma in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His background includes roles with Mind, the NHS, and the Alzheimer’s Society, plus volunteering for Cruse Bereavement Support and the Samaritans.
Background and approach
This mix of charity and health service work shapes a steady, practical approach. Jurgen draws on existential ideas alongside cognitive and client-centred methods. In practice he focuses on what matters to the person sitting in front of him - values, meaning and everyday coping.
He also uses techniques from acceptance and commitment work and psychodynamic thinking when those fit a client’s needs. He has worked with common problems such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, anger and work stress. He is comfortable discussing complex issues like the emotional impact of dementia, caregiving strain, bereavement and life transitions.
He offers particular welcome to older adults while working with adults from varied backgrounds. Sessions are offered in English and German and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or messaging. Jurgen describes therapy as a collaborative process that helps people find clearer direction, new perspectives and more manageable ways of coping.

Online support
How Jurgen’s approaches translate to online therapy
Jurgen uses Existential Therapy to help clients consider life’s bigger questions and personal values, focusing on meaning, choice and how people want to live. This can be useful for grief, midlife shifts and feelings of emptiness.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which centres on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy is another strand of his work and provides a non-judgemental listening space where the client’s pace and priorities guide the sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jurgen works together with each person to identify what fits their goals and day-to-day life, adjusting methods as the work progresses. The aim is practical and collaborative rather than fixed to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for shorter check-ins. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need more frequent, brief contact. These options offer flexibility to match practical needs and communication style.
