About Oskars

Oskars Grins helps people facing grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, addiction, career changes and the shock of life transitions. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, parenting stress and compassion fatigue. Oskars works with people navigating LGBT issues and those coping with chronic illness, cancer recovery and caregiving pressures.

He practises a person-centred approach. This means he listens deeply and offers acceptance without judgement.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on the person in front of him rather than on symptom lists, so sessions are guided by what matters most to the client. Oskars aims to build a reliable therapeutic relationship where people can speak honestly. He uses empathic listening and genuine responses to help clients understand their feelings and choices.

The work is practical and grounded, with time spent on what will make life feel more manageable day to day. With six years of experience, he has worked alongside people affected by bereavement, cancer treatment, health anxiety and relationship difficulties including non-traditional arrangements. He also supports those who found previous therapy unhelpful and want a different way of working.

Oskars holds BACP accreditation, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He conducts sessions in English and sees people in the United Kingdom. If someone thinks his style might fit, they can start the matching process and arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

Online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people reconnect with their sense of self. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, grief and the emotional fallout of life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions shape relationships and inner experience. It helps people identify and work through painful feelings that get in the way of connection or personal stability. EFT can be useful for intimacy concerns, attachment difficulties and relationship distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods to suit what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy here offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps when face-to-face connection matters, phone calls can fit a short break or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or when writing helps process thoughts. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel commitments.
