Oskars Grins, BACP

Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people facing midlife transitions, grief, low self-esteem and relationship strain. He works with people dealing with addiction, career change, parenting pressures and the emotional fallout of trauma. He uses straightforward, listening-based therapy to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and decide what to change next.

He offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the conversation centres on the client. Sessions focus on honest, empathic listening rather than teaching fixed techniques. That approach aims to help people reconnect with their own values and sense of self so they can move forward in a way that feels right for them.

Oskars draws on client-centred practice and emotionally-focused ideas to support people through big life adjustments. He pays attention to attachment and intimacy concerns and to how past wounds can affect current relationships. Practical topics such as sleep, work pressure, addiction and caring responsibilities are also addressed in ordinary language.

He has six years of experience working with people affected by cancer, health anxiety and bereavement, including end-of-life and palliative contexts. This background informs his work with grief that has become stuck and with other long-term losses.

Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Oskars works from a client-centred approach which focuses on empathic listening, acceptance and helping people reconnect with their own values. This way of working helps when life shifts or identity questions need space and time to be understood.

He also uses emotionally-focused ideas that pay attention to feelings in relationships and how attachment patterns shape current struggles. This can be useful for intimacy-related worries, grief that feels stuck and repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which elements of client-centred or emotionally-focused work suit the situation best. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep continuity when juggling work, caregiving or treatment schedules. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the exact online or in-person options before booking so arrangements match your daily routine.
