Oskars Grins , BACP

Oskars Grins practices person-centred therapy with a focus on helping people understand themselves and the roots of their distress so they can make meaningful change. He provides an environment defined by unconditional positive regard, empathic listening, and genuineness, aiming to help clients face difficult or overwhelming feelings and reconnect with a clearer sense of identity and purpose.

He cultivates what he describes as therapeutic presence - deep, non-judgmental attention to a person's story, history, and lived experience. Working together, he and the client explore the questions and goals that matter most, with an emphasis on building a strong therapeutic alliance in which thoughts, feelings, and the spaces between can be examined honestly.

Oskars does not approach therapy from a medical model focused on symptom reduction; instead he treats people as whole individuals rather than a set of problems. This work is primarily conversational rather than technique-driven, although the process can lead to practical shifts in how a person understands and manages relationships, career transitions, loss, and other life challenges.

He has worked with people adjusting after cancer treatment, those managing health anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, the aftermath of previous unhelpful therapy, relationship difficulties including open relationships and infidelity, and life changes such as career development and public-facing roles. He also has a specialist interest in grief and bereavement and has experience supporting people and families around end-of-life and palliative care. Oskars holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his professional affiliation and commitment to ethical practice.

Person-Centred and Emotion-Focused Support Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy is offered as a compassionate, non-directive approach in which the therapist provides empathic listening and acceptance to help people explore who they are and what they need. This approach supports work on identity, self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions by creating space for personal growth.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and patterns within relationships. It helps people and couples understand attachment needs and interaction cycles, making it useful for intimacy issues, relationship conflicts, and repairing bonds after events like infidelity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Oskars will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will help determine whether client-centred work, EFT, or a blend of supportive conversation is the best fit for the situation.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into daily life and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and allow people to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
