About Oskars

Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, addiction, depression and life transitions. He also supports clients with self-esteem, career questions, parenting stress, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. He works from a person-centred perspective that makes listening the priority.

Oskars holds BACP accreditation and has six years of professional experience in the UK. Oskars focuses on building a straightforward, honest therapeutic relationship. He offers deep listening, empathy and non-judgement so people can say what matters to them.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to help a person name difficult feelings and understand how those feelings affect everyday life. His way of working does not centre on teaching a fixed set of techniques. Instead he seeks to create the conditions where a client can explore identity, values and inner goals.

That process can help when grief becomes stuck, when past therapy felt unhelpful, or when major life changes leave someone unsure how to move on. Oskars has worked with people affected by cancer and end-of-life issues, health anxiety, LGBTQ+ matters, and relationship problems including non-monogamy and infidelity.

He also addresses addiction, family and blended-family concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. If someone feels they could benefit from talking through a problem, the first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.

Person-centred and emotion-focused approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and acceptance so a client can better understand their feelings, identity and choices. This approach is useful for grief, self-esteem issues and life transitions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and attachment needs in close relationships. It helps people notice patterns in how they respond to others and learn new ways to connect, which can be helpful for relationship strains and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work alongside a client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative stance means the work can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for a regular weekly session where face contact matters. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
