About Oskars
Counsellor Oskars Grins is a BACP member with six years of practice based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing grief, relationship stress, depression, addiction and identity issues including LGBT concerns. He also supports those coping with career change, parenting strain, sleep problems and compassion fatigue.
Oskars uses person-centred work, often described as Client-Centred Therapy, and draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas. He focuses on listening closely and helping people understand their feelings and patterns. Sessions are mainly talking-based rather than technique-driven.
He pays close attention to how loss and bereavement can become stuck. He has worked with people after cancer treatment and with those affected by end-of-life care. He also talks through relationship problems such as infidelity, open-relationship issues and communication troubles.
Sessions aim to build a steady therapeutic relationship where thoughts and feelings can be examined without judgement. Oskars helps people look for what matters to them and where they want to move next. The emphasis is on exploring identity, attachment and emotional experience rather than on a medical model of symptoms.
People come to him for practical conversations about coping and change. He invites a straightforward discussion about goals and whether this way of working feels right. To start, clients follow the site process to match and book an initial session.
How his Client-Centred and EFT approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on genuine listening and acceptance. It helps people understand their own feelings and sense of self. This approach is useful for identity questions, grief and general emotional distress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and attachment. It helps people notice how emotions shape responses and interactions. EFT ideas can be helpful for relationship issues and intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful. They decide together how much emphasis to place on exploring emotions or working through relational patterns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It also lets people keep a continuous conversation with a registered professional when life changes make in-person visits harder.
