About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. He works with concerns such as grief, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also supports people managing parenting strain, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related issues.
He uses person-centred methods that focus on listening and building a strong working relationship. Sessions are largely conversational and aim to help people clarify feelings and decisions. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas when emotion and attachment patterns are central to the difficulty.
Oskars listens to each person’s story and asks questions that help make sense of confusing emotions. He does not prioritise a medical model or labelling of symptoms but prefers to look at the whole person. This means the work often involves exploring how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour.
People have come to him about grief after serious illness, LGBT concerns, problems that followed previous therapy, workplace and career transitions, and relationship issues including non-traditional relationship arrangements. He has particular experience supporting clients affected by cancer and those adjusting after treatment.
How sessions proceed depends on the goals the client brings. He helps people consider what would feel different if therapy had made a positive change and then works steadily towards those aims. To begin, clients choose an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
Emotion-focused and person-centred work online
Oskars uses two complementary approaches that translate well to remote work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns that cause recurring relationship and emotional problems. It helps when strong feelings are hard to name or when patterns keep repeating.Person-centred counselling emphasises close listening and a non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor follows the client’s pace, helps clarify experience and supports exploration of values, choices and identity. This approach is often useful for grief, self-esteem and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process; he will work collaboratively to choose what fits your needs and goals. Together you will discuss which methods to use and review progress as the work continues.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote appointments to reach people who might otherwise find it difficult to attend in person.
