Oskars Grins, BACP

Oskars Grins helps people who are struggling with grief, loss, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, career changes, and trauma. He also supports people facing intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and the practical impact of chronic illness or caregiving. Oskars is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. He holds BACP accreditation. He uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of the sessions. That means listening closely and giving space for people to say what they really feel. He focuses on understanding the whole person rather than only trying to reduce symptoms. In sessions, Oskars aims to create an honest, non-judgemental space. He listens for the things that matter most and helps people name what they are feeling. Rather than teaching a set of techniques, he follows the client’s lead and builds a trusting therapeutic relationship. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is also part of his approach when helpful. This method looks at how emotions shape connections and personal patterns. It can be useful for understanding attachment, abandonment issues, commitment worries, and recurring relationship struggles. Oskars has six years of clinical experience and has worked with people affected by cancer, end-of-life and palliative concerns, and complex grief. He is comfortable supporting those with sexual diversity and people exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures. If someone thinks they might work well with him, they are invited to start by making initial contact and completing a short questionnaire to match needs and schedule sessions.

Person-centred and emotion-focused work online

Client-Centred Therapy is about offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens closely and supports a person’s own capacity to change. It helps people who need to understand themselves better and make choices that feel true to them.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people notice how feelings shape their actions and relationships, and can be useful for addressing abandonment, commitment concerns and recurring relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which method fits best, using the client’s goals and preferences as a guide. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy with him is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps when a more personal, face-to-face feel is wanted. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write or need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
