Oskars Grins, BACP

Oskars Grins practices person-centred therapy with a focus on helping people understand themselves and the roots of their distress so they can make lasting, positive change. He creates a therapeutic environment defined by empathy, acceptance, and genuineness to help clients acknowledge difficult or overwhelming feelings and reconnect with their core sense of self. This way of working encourages inner resources for growth and supports the development of a more integrated, authentic identity.

He offers deep, attentive listening and aims to provide what he calls therapeutic presence - an approach that combines non-judgmental acceptance with sincere engagement. Sessions are shaped around the question of what will show that therapy has made a meaningful difference, and the work is guided by the client - their concerns, history, and priorities - rather than a focus on symptom reduction alone. As a person-centred practitioner he prioritises understanding the whole person rather than viewing difficulties only as a set of symptoms.

Oskars has supported people facing a wide range of issues, including adjustment after cancer treatment, health anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, difficult outcomes from previous therapy, relationship problems such as infidelity and open-relationship dynamics, and major life changes like career transitions or public-facing roles. He has a specialist interest in grief and bereavement and has worked closely with end-of-life and palliative clients and their families to help when normal grieving becomes stalled. He welcomes contact from those who think they might work well with a person-centred therapist and will discuss next steps with prospective clients. He holds BACP which indicates recognition by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy

Person-centred and Emotion-focused care online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people exploring identity, self-esteem, grief, and life changes by fostering self-awareness and personal growth through empathic listening and respect for the client's own goals.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with patterns of emotion and attachment in close relationships. It helps people and couples to identify and name their deeper feelings, to understand how those emotions shape interactions, and to create new ways of relating that reduce distress and strengthen bonds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Oskars works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the work fits the client rather than forcing a fixed model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support when travel or local options are limited. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
