Oskars Grins, BACP

Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people dealing with grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem and the particular stresses that can come with major life changes. He uses person-centred ways of working to listen closely and reflect back what matters to you. Oskars aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space so people can say what they feel and begin to make sense of it.

He offers a straightforward, talk-based style rather than a symptom-focused medical approach. Sessions focus on deep listening, empathy and honest feedback to help you reconnect with your own values and aims. That can be useful for issues such as coping after illness, navigating sexual identity or dealing with intimacy-related problems.

Oskars draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centred Therapy ideas to explore feelings and interactions that cause pain or confusion. He will work with you to notice patterns and to understand how early attachments and current relationships affect your emotional life.

He has six years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His background includes work with people affected by bereavement, palliative care situations and those adjusting to major health changes.

If you are unsure what to expect, he encourages a first conversation to see whether his way of working feels right. You can take things at your own pace and set the goals that matter to you.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people reconnect with their own values and goals. It relies on the therapist offering empathic presence and honest responses so clients can arrive at their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and working with strong emotional patterns and attachment needs, which can help with relationship pain, intimacy issues and responses to loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which way of working feels most helpful. That plan can change as you try different ways of looking at things and notice what helps.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Online work can support steady progress by keeping continuity across weeks while the therapist and client focus on emotions, patterns and the practical steps that help daily coping.
