Oskars Grins, BACP

Oskars Grins offers support for people facing grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, addiction, career shifts and other major life changes. He also works with issues such as depression, sleep problems, intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue and LGBT matters. His practice recognises the particular challenges that come with ageing and geriatric issues alongside caregiver stress and chronic illness. Oskars uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening deeply and without judgement. He emphasises empathy, genuine presence and acceptance so people can speak honestly about what matters to them. Sessions are conversational rather than technique-driven, and the aim is to help people reconnect with who they are and what they want. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help with relationship patterns and attachment issues. This often means mapping emotional responses and working together to change unhelpful cycles in close relationships. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Oskars has six years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. He has worked with people affected by cancer, health anxiety and end-of-life issues, and has a specialist interest in grief and bereavement. People often come because they feel stuck after loss, are facing major life transitions, or want clearer direction in their relationships or career. If someone is unsure whether this style will suit them, Oskars invites an initial conversation to see how things might proceed together.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance. It helps people who want space to talk through feelings, identity questions and life changes without being judged. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and attachment. It helps people notice their emotional responses and work to change repeating negative cycles. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which method or combination feels most helpful. Decisions are based on the person's goals, needs and how they prefer to work rather than a fixed plan. The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life. Online work can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during busy days, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caregiving commitments.
