About Jurgen
Jurgen Schwarz is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He holds a diploma in counselling and has additional certificates in online and telephone counselling. Jurgen draws on roles with Mind, the NHS and the Alzheimer’s Society, plus volunteer work with Cruse Bereavement Support and the Samaritans.
People reach out to him for help with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and self-esteem. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, career pressures and coping with life changes. Guilt and shame are listed among his focus areas and he welcomes adults across different ages and backgrounds.
Jurgen’s manner combines clear, direct conversation with a considerate tone. He listens without judgement and avoids telling people what to do. Sessions aim to uncover new ways of understanding recurring feelings and patterns that keep someone stuck.
In practical terms he uses a mix of approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts while moving towards meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions to try small, testable changes. Client-Centred and psychodynamic ideas inform how he attends to personal history and present concerns.
His background includes supporting people through bereavement and dementia-related emotional strain, and he offers a particular welcome to older adults. Jurgen works in English and German and asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jurgen often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while still choosing actions that reflect their values. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and tries practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns.He also draws on Client-Centred and psychodynamic ideas to listen to a person’s history and present concerns. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Jurgen will discuss goals, preferences and life demands with each person and then agree a collaborative way forward.
His training includes certificates in online and telephone counselling. Please confirm the exact session formats offered when you book. Online or telephone sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and let someone check in from a quieter place. The format chosen can shape session length and the practical rhythm of work together, and Jurgen will help weigh those options when arranging sessions.
