About Oskars

Oskars Grins helps people work through grief, relationship issues, addiction, LGBT matters, self-esteem and life changes using a person-centred way of working. He offers counselling based on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy and has six years' experience. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

He listens to your story and focuses on understanding how you experience yourself. Sessions are conversational rather than technical. He aims to provide acceptance and genuine engagement so people can look honestly at painful feelings and take steps towards change.

Oskars does not emphasise medical labels or symptom-reduction as the main goal. Instead he supports people to reconnect with who they are and what matters to them. This can help when depression, low confidence, grief or relationship problems make it hard to move forward.

He has worked with people coping after cancer treatment, health anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and difficulties following earlier therapy. Grief and bereavement are a specialist interest and he has experience with end-of-life and palliative situations as well as supporting bereaved relatives.

Sessions include open conversation about feelings, relationships and choices. Oskars will work with each person to set goals and check how therapy is helping. He encourages honest discussion about hopes for change and the practical steps that follow.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on listening, acceptance and genuine engagement. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation where the counsellor helps you clarify feelings, values and choices to support personal growth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with key emotional responses in relationships and self-experience; online work can help people notice and name their emotional patterns and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a way of working that fits those aims. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include the ability to fit counselling into a busy day and the option to attend from different locations when that helps with timing or travel. Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and make attendance easier for people with work, health or caregiving commitments.
