About Oskars

Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people facing loss, identity questions, relationship strain, addiction, low self-esteem and major life changes. He works with issues such as grief, depression, intimacy difficulties, sleep problems, parenting stress and compassion fatigue. He also supports people with career changes, trauma and abuse and a wide range of other concerns.

Oskars follows a person-centred model that focuses on listening and understanding. He offers a calm space where someone can talk without judgement.

Background and approach

Sessions are about exploring what matters most to the client and finding small steps forward together. He also draws on emotionally-focused work to help people better understand and name their feelings and how those feelings shape close relationships. That approach is useful for tackling attachment concerns, communication problems, and commitment or intimacy issues.

Oskars has six years of practice and is associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has worked with people affected by cancer, those experiencing health anxiety, and clients with LGBT related concerns. He has particular experience in grief and bereavement and supporting people around end-of-life and palliative situations.

Sessions can be used to look at how a past difficulty is holding someone back now, or to make a plan for a life change such as a new career. He aims to build a trusting working relationship and to help clients discover what they need to change or accept.

If someone thinks they might benefit from talking, they can start with a short online matching step and arrange sessions from there.

Ways of working Oskars names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How person-centred and emotion-focused work translate online

Oskars uses person-centred counselling online to offer careful listening and non-judgemental attention. This approach focuses on the person in front of him and helps someone reconnect with their own sense of self and purpose. It is useful for dealing with grief, low self-esteem and life transitions.

He also uses emotionally-focused therapy to help people identify and name painful feelings and to change patterns in close relationships. That work helps with attachment problems, communication difficulties and intimacy struggles by focusing on emotional experiences and how they are expressed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to agree what to try first and will regularly check how the work is progressing. Together they set goals and adjust methods based on the client’s needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a more face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short check-ins work well by text or chat. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and help people keep momentum between sessions.
