Jurgen Schwarz, BACP

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. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace and feel heard.

Jurgen has around four years of practice experience and has worked with Mind, the NHS, and the Alzheimer’s Society. He has also volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Support and the Samaritans, supporting people through bereavement and crisis. This background informs his work with grief and the emotional effects of dementia.

He brings a bicultural perspective as a German living in the UK, combining directness with warmth. That outlook often helps people see familiar problems in a new way and opens up different ways of coping. Jurgen commonly supports adults with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, anger, and work-related stress.

Sessions focus on finding practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to build meaning and purpose. Jurgen aims to help people develop insights and everyday strategies rather than promising quick fixes. He also offers a particular welcome to older adults and people affected by ageing and geriatric issues.

To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Appointments are then scheduled according to the therapist's availability and a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by teaching acceptance and committed action.

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on being heard without judgement. The counsellor offers empathy and understanding so people can explore feelings and make their own decisions about change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jurgen will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity of care when travel is difficult. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as this profile does not list them. Many people appreciate that online sessions can reduce travel time, allow quieter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting.
