About Oskars

Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people who are struggling with sleep, grief, low self-esteem, addiction and major life changes. He works with issues such as relationship stress, parenting challenges, career shifts, intimacy concerns and the emotional effects of chronic illness. Oskars aims to provide a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly about what’s troubling them.

He uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy and genuineness. That style is about helping people reconnect with their values and sense of self rather than simply teaching quick techniques. Sessions are conversations where the client sets the pace and the topics.

Oskars also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at patterns in emotional responses and how these affect relationships and personal wellbeing. This can be useful for people dealing with attachment issues, intimacy worries or repeated relationship difficulties.

He has six years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. His background includes working with people affected by cancer, end-of-life and palliative situations, and those facing complicated grief. These areas have shaped how he listens and responds in sessions.

People often come for help after a life change, loss, or when sleep and everyday functioning are disrupted. If the reader thinks this approach might suit them, the next step is to confirm session options and proceed with a brief matching process before booking.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy is based on deep listening and acceptance. It focuses on your experience and helps you reconnect with your own values and strengths rather than teaching step-by-step techniques. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with low self-esteem, grief, or general life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotional responses and how they shape relationships and personal distress. EFT helps identify repetitive reactions and create new ways of relating that reduce emotional pain, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together decide which method feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what a person needs most at any given time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can continue work with a registered professional when circumstances change, while keeping the focus on what they want to address rather than the location of the session.
