About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. He works with young adults and others on issues such as grief, self-esteem, career changes, relationship difficulties, addiction and coping with life changes. He also supports people with LGBT concerns, trauma and intimacy-related problems.
He uses person-centred methods that focus on listening and understanding. Sessions are largely talking-based rather than skills training. He aims to offer non-judgemental listening and genuine responses so people can better understand themselves and their choices.
In practice he pays attention to how loss and grief can become stuck and what might help that process move forward. He has experience supporting people after cancer treatment, with health anxiety, and those who struggle after unhelpful experiences in previous therapy. He also works with issues around open relationships and infidelity, and with people navigating career transitions and public-facing roles.
Oskars emphasises forming a clear therapeutic alliance so clients can explore thoughts and feelings that are hard to raise with friends or family. His style favours deep listening and acceptance rather than a medical model that focuses on symptom reduction alone. He prefers to help clients arrive at goals and a clearer sense of direction through honest discussion.
People who want to start will be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The registration shown is BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and genuine responses so the client can reflect on who they are and what they want. It helps with low self-esteem, grief, relationship questions and adjusting to life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and how they shape relationships and attachment patterns; it can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with the client and decide together which methods to emphasise. That collaborative process helps match the style of therapy to the issues someone brings and to how they prefer to work.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, early career schedules and shifts in routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or a quieter conversation without needing travel. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical arrangements help maintain momentum between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
