Åse Greenacre, BACP

Åse Greenacre is a BACP-accredited therapist with 16 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She grew up in Sweden and has lived abroad for many years, including 14 years in Zurich, Switzerland, before settling in the United Kingdom where she has practiced for over two decades. Her clinical background includes work within the NHS at a GP surgery as well as in private practice, giving her a broad perspective on differing needs and care settings.

Åse works with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and issues around separation and divorce, among other difficulties. She approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert in their own story and brings a strengths-based focus to help clients build on what already serves them. Åse aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore their priorities, develop practical coping strategies and find ways to restore confidence and motivation. Taking the first step can take courage, and she acknowledges and supports that commitment to change.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Åse uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal insight. One approach emphasizes building coping and problem-solving skills to reduce stress and manage anxiety - it helps clients develop concrete strategies for everyday challenges and emotional regulation. Another approach centers on exploring life patterns and relationships to understand sources of low self-esteem, grief, or difficulties in intimate and family relationships - this helps clients gain perspective and make meaningful changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Åse treats this as a collaborative effort. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time to suit each person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with Åse is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, allowing work on goals from home or another convenient location.
