About Jurgen
Jurgen Schwarz is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom. He trained to a diploma level in counselling and holds the BACP credential. Jurgen offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace and feel heard.
He has four years' experience and has worked with Mind, the NHS, and the Alzheimer’s Society. Jurgen has also volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Support and the Samaritans, supporting people through grief and crisis.
Background and approach
He brings additional certificates in online and telephone counselling to his practice. Born in Germany and now practising in the UK, Jurgen combines directness with warmth. That mix aims to help people see their situation differently and find clearer ways forward.
He often works with adults facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, grief, anger, and work-related stress. Jurgen welcomes older adults in particular and helps people navigate the emotional effects of dementia. He also supports issues around relationships, intimacy, LGBT concerns, and a range of life transitions.
Other focus areas include career questions, body image, and coping after separation. In sessions he listens carefully and avoids telling people what to do. Work is collaborative and paced by the client.
The goal is practical insight and new coping options so life feels more manageable and purposeful.

How Jurgen works online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judging and follows the client’s lead to help them understand themselves better. This approach is often helpful for low self-esteem, loneliness, or when someone needs a calm space to talk.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and works on practical changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want tools to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jurgen uses discussion and simple experiments to decide what fits a person’s goals and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to balance therapy with everyday life, for example by fitting appointments around work, reducing travel time, or allowing shorter check-ins when that suits a client. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in remote sessions, and Jurgen will discuss how to make online meetings most useful for you.
