About Åse
Åse Greenacre is a counsellor with 16 years of experience working in the UK. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties and the fallout from separation or major life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and parenting pressures. Åse draws on her years in both NHS and private practice to offer steady, practical help.
Åse grew up in Sweden and has lived and worked across Europe, including long periods in Zurich and the UK. That international background shapes a down-to-earth, culturally aware manner. She sees clients from varied backgrounds and treats each person as the expert in their own life.
In sessions, Åse listens carefully and asks straightforward questions to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She focuses on building practical strategies for sleep, energy and everyday coping, and on boosting confidence and motivation one step at a time. Conversations are paced to match what each person can manage.
Her work includes attention to relationship and family strains, feelings of emptiness or shame, and difficulties with anger or impulsivity. Åse also supports people dealing with career shifts, caregiving stress and issues linked to ageing or abandonment.
Åse is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers therapy in English, German and Swedish and works from the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.
Approaches to improving sleep and daily coping
Åse works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Another approach emphasises small behavioural changes to routine and rest patterns, helping the body and mind settle at night and across the day.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Åse will talk with each person about their goals, sleep patterns and daily demands, then suggest strategies to try together. She adjusts pace and techniques to suit the person's needs and preferences as the work develops.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving and busy schedules, and they can reduce travel time and allow quicker access to a therapist. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Discussing options during the initial steps will help match practical arrangements to what works best for you.
