About Jurgen

How Jurgen works
These roles gave him experience supporting people through grief, loss and other difficult life moments. Jurgen combines a straightforward German outlook with a warm, attentive manner. That mix helps people see situations differently and try new ways of coping.
He explains things clearly and encourages practical steps that feel manageable. People typically come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, loneliness, anger and relationship concerns. He also supports those dealing with the emotional impact of cancer, caregiving strain, separation, and ageing issues.
Jurgen works with adults from diverse backgrounds and offers a particular welcome to older adults. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the individual and finding workable strategies. He uses a range of approaches to match each person’s needs and goals.
Taking that first step can feel hard, but he aims to make the process steady and understandable.

Online support options
Approaches and online support that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters to you and small actions that align with those values. It helps when worry or low mood make it hard to take steps towards a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link and teaches practical tools to break unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and relies on empathic listening and understanding to help people find their own answers.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that suit your situation and adapt the way you work as you go. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when circumstances change.
