Oskars Grins , BACP

Oskars Grins practices person-centred therapy with a focus on helping people understand themselves and the roots of their distress so they can make sustainable changes. With six years of experience, he offers a space shaped by empathy, genuineness, and nonjudgmental acceptance to help clients face overwhelming feelings, reconnect with their sense of self, and pursue meaningful growth. He holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Rather than concentrating on symptom reduction through a medical model, he works from a holistic view of the person. He listens to each client’s story and history and cultivates therapeutic presence - deep empathic listening and genuine engagement - so that the client can explore what matters most. This emphasis supports people who find it difficult to talk with friends or family about anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, because loved ones may try to fix problems rather than hold the experience.

Oskars has worked with people adjusting to life after cancer treatment, those living with health anxiety, and individuals navigating LGBT related issues. He has supported clients dealing with the aftermath of previous therapy, relationship challenges including open relationships and infidelity, career changes, and professional development in public roles. He also has a specialist interest in grief and bereavement and experience with end-of-life and palliative clients and their families, helping to identify where grief has become stuck and when focused bereavement support may be helpful.

How therapy proceeds is guided by the long-term aims each person brings into the room. Oskars’s person-centred stance is to provide an open, respectful space in which the therapeutic alliance can develop so clients can explore goals, purpose, and direction at a pace that fits them.

Person-Centred and Emotion-Focused Approaches Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering empathic, nonjudgmental listening and genuine engagement so clients can explore their feelings and sense of identity. It aims to create the conditions for personal growth by valuing the client's perspective and supporting self-directed change, which can help with depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotional experience and interpersonal patterns to help people understand and shift the ways they respond to important relationships. EFT can be particularly useful for couples and for individuals who want to improve emotional expression, attachment concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will work together to identify which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt the work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or reach a therapist from anywhere within the therapist’s service area. For many people these options increase accessibility and continuity of care while allowing licensed professionals to tailor the format to each client’s situation.
