About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. He works with people carrying guilt, shame, grief and relationship strain as well as issues around self-esteem, addiction, career change and depression. Sessions are framed around listening and helping people understand the roots of their distress.
He uses person-centred principles to help people name difficult feelings and make sense of their history. That means long stretches of listening, reflective responses and honest dialogue rather than a focus on symptom-checking. He aims to help clients notice patterns and to think about what genuine change would look like for them.
Oskars also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when working with relationship and attachment concerns. This can include attending to how emotions show up in close relationships and helping people describe inner experience more clearly. The work is practical and emotion-focused rather than technique-driven.
He has worked with people after cancer treatment, with health anxiety, and with LGBTQ+ related issues. He has an expressed interest in grief and bereavement and has experience with end-of-life and palliative contexts and the difficulties that can leave behind. He has also supported people through career transitions, public-facing roles, and the aftermath of previous therapy that felt unhelpful.
In sessions he encourages clients to explore what they want from therapy and how they will know it has helped. He does not prioritise the medical model and focuses on understanding the whole person. To begin, clients follow a straightforward intake path and schedule a first session when ready.
How his approaches translate to online work
Oskars uses person-centred practice which focuses on listening, reflective responses and helping people name their feelings. This approach aims to help someone understand the origins of their distress and consider what personal change might look like in everyday life.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when attachment or relationship issues are involved. EFT-style work pays attention to how emotions play out between people and supports clearer emotional expression and connection in relationships.
Finding the right way to work is part of the process. He will collaborate with each client to decide which approach, or blend of approaches, best matches their goals and situation. That decision is shaped by what the client wants to address and how they prefer to work together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, and check in more quickly when life feels urgent. It can also allow shorter calls or audio-only conversations when that suits a person better, and it helps people keep therapy part of their routine without major disruption.
