About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing life purpose questions and practical problems such as grief, depression, relationship strain, addictions and career transitions. People come to him when they feel stuck after a life change, or when they want clearer sense of who they are and what matters next.
He uses person-centred methods to listen and reflect rather than teach set techniques. Sessions focus on talking through personal history, current feelings and patterns that keep someone stuck. The aim is to help people notice the roots of distress and make choices that fit their values and circumstances.
Grief and bereavement are a stated focus. He has worked with people adjusting after cancer treatment and with end-of-life concerns. He also supports adults dealing with LGBT issues, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Oskars describes his role as offering genuine, non-judgemental listening and joining clients to explore what will show meaningful change. He does not frame his work through a medical model or by focusing on symptom reduction alone. Instead he prioritises understanding the person as a whole.
Sessions may include exploring relationships, attachment patterns and emotion-focused themes. He also brings experience with blended family issues, commitment and communication difficulties, and drug and alcohol addiction. People who want to test whether this style fits them are invited to start with an initial session and see how the work unfolds.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Oskars draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person rather than a set of techniques. This approach involves attentive listening, reflection and allowing a person to explore their feelings so they can better recognise what matters and what creates distress.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to work with patterns in relationships and attachment. EFT techniques help people notice emotional cycles with partners or family and try new ways of responding that change those cycles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which elements to use and review progress as they go, adjusting the approach if needed.
Practical benefits of working online should be confirmed before booking as session formats are not listed in the biography. Confirm current session options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid a commute so sessions fit around work or family routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit a person’s goals and circumstances.
