About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, loss, relationship hurts, addiction and major life changes. He works with people struggling with depression, low self-esteem, sexual and intimacy concerns, and those coping after illness or significant life events. He uses a calm, listening-first style aimed at helping you understand yourself more clearly.
Oskars uses a person-centred approach that focuses on empathic listening and genuine, non-judgemental presence. That means sessions prioritise your story and feelings rather than a set of techniques. He aims to create space where people can explore how their difficulties started and what they want to change next.
He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which attends to patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape the way people connect. This can be useful for resolving attachment worries, commitment issues, and problems around intimacy or communication.
Oskars has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. He has worked with people after cancer treatment, those dealing with health anxiety, and people processing loss or bereavement. He has particular experience supporting LGBT concerns and people affected by trauma and abuse.
Sessions are conversational and paced to your needs. Oskars invites clients to set goals together and to reflect on what will show that therapy has helped. If you feel this way of working might suit you, use the site start process to make first contact and arrange a first meeting.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, accepting listening and creating a space where you feel heard and respected. Online sessions following this approach aim to reproduce that listening and presence so you can reflect on your feelings and identity.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in relationships and how feelings drive connection or distance. Online work using EFT ideas can help people identify recurring interaction cycles and practise new ways of relating with partners or significant others during and between sessions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process, and the therapist will help decide which approach best fits your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription; goals and methods can change as the work progresses.
Please confirm available session options before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It can also make it possible to meet with a counsellor from your local area while you are elsewhere in the UK.
