Åse Greenacre, BACP

Åse Greenacre is a counsellor with experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She works with concerns such as parenting challenges, low self-esteem, separation and divorce, and ongoing struggles with motivation and confidence. Åse speaks English, German and Swedish and practises in the United Kingdom.

She grew up in Sweden and has lived across Europe, including long periods in Switzerland and the UK. That background informs a calm, understanding approach to different life experiences. Åse has worked in the NHS at a GP surgery and in private practice, which gives her a mix of public and independent sector perspective.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and invites them to tell their story. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them spot strengths to build on. Conversations aim to be practical and clear so people leave with doable steps between sessions.

Åse draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific issues like sleep problems, eating concerns, anger and trauma. She also supports people facing career stresses, caregiver strain and the challenges that come with ageing and geriatric issues. Work often includes talking through patterns, trying new ways of coping, and practising small changes.

With 16 years of work in the field and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she brings steady experience to the room. The first session is usually about understanding current needs and agreeing on a plan together.

How Åse uses therapeutic techniques online

Åse works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviours and then try small, testable changes to see what helps with mood and anxiety. This approach is useful for low mood, anxiety, sleep and motivation problems.

Another helpful strand concentrates on coping with life transitions and relationship difficulties by building communication skills and better boundaries. This kind of work suits people facing separation, caregiving strain, or changes linked to ageing and geriatric issues. It focuses on simple skills to use day to day rather than abstract theory.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to current needs, goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit the person. Together they will review what helps and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving or health challenges while making steady progress.
