Alex Jurgensen

I am available to take new clients. Only offering online sessions at the moment.

My name is Alex and I am a fully qualified, BACP-registered, counsellor with a proven track record of helping people work through all kinds of problems. I offer affordable online counselling sessions. You can scroll to the bottom of my profile if you wish to read what previous clients had to say about my services.

I think that part of the problem we all share is that we grew up in a society that didn't really understand human emotions. Thus, we quickly learned that emotions are a problem and that the only proper way of dealing with them is to shut them off, brush them under the carpet and put on a brave face.

Over time, the load of repressed, unacknowledged, emotions increases, not unlike a pressure cooker. At some point, if we don't learn to have a healthy relationship with our emotions, the pressure becomes too much for the lid to hold... and boom!... anxiety, depression, uncontrollable anger, shouting, panic, blaming, violence, addiction, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, etc... all of which are signs that the emotional pressure is reaching maximum capacity.

What's the alternative? To gather up the courage and face the emotional pain that we're carrying before it explodes... The trick here is in learning to share the thoughts and feelings that may have previously felt too difficult to acknowledge. 

I can offer you the opportunity to do this in a supportive, professional and confidential environment.

P.S. If you'd like to listen to my podcast, you can find the link to Spotify on my website.

The first session is completely free of charge!

The first session will serve as a chance to introduce ourselves to one another. I will also explain how I work, as well as what you can expect from the sessions and what will be expected from you.

Contact me and I will get back to you within 1-6 hours.

Testimonials from previous clients:

“Alex has helped me talk through several issues. His sessions provide an open space to help identify and talk through the crux of a given problem. This natural approach has allowed me to realise what is beneficial and how to orient myself in the right direction."
- Dan (pseudonym), 26

"Our sessions have really helped me cope with difficult circumstances... I've felt comfortable to bring all of myself to our sessions and felt supported and understood. This was particularly important for me in terms of my identity as queer. Would recommend Alex wholeheartedly and am very thankful for having his support."
- John (pseudonym), 28

"Through working with Alex, I was able to go through a true therapeutic experience where I was not only able to gain a sense of clarity and insight, but where I also experienced real therapeutic growth and in turn therapeutic change which has left me with a greater sense of self. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone seeking a genuine and positive experience of therapy."
- Amy (pseudonym), 30

"The sessions with Alex were very helpful in dealing with trauma and uncovering limiting beliefs and patterns. I appreciate Alex's open, honest and supportive attitude which made it easy for me to feel safe, trust the process and delve deeper."
- Chloe (pseudonym), 44

“Alex was a tremendous source of support during a challenging and traumatic phase in my life. He provided valuable guidance that encouraged me to prioritise self-care and effectively navigate my circumstances… I highly recommend Alex as a personal therapist.”
- Mike (pseudonym), 44
