About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a counsellor who supports men dealing with grief, low self-esteem, addiction, relationship strain and a range of life changes. He works with issues such as depression, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, parenting stress and intimacy-related concerns. Oskars also helps people facing career transitions and those exploring LGBT-related questions. He brings six years of practice to his work and is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
He uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and understanding. That means Oskars offers empathic listening, acceptance and honest responses to help people recognise what is at the heart of their distress. Sessions are framed as a chance to talk things through without judgement and to reconnect with what matters to each person.
In practice he pays attention to the personal story and to the facts of someone’s life. Conversations look at feelings, relationships and how past events still affect day-to-day thinking and behaviour. There is space to consider grief that feels stuck, struggles after illness, or the fallout from addiction and family conflict.
Oskars values building a trusting working relationship so people can set clear goals or simply gain clarity. He draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationship dynamics are central, helping people notice patterns and change how they relate. The focus is practical and human - finding ways to move forward that fit the person’s life and aims.
He works from the United Kingdom and holds the BACP credential. Sessions are carried out in English and he does not take international clients. If someone wants to start, they can use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to book according to therapist availability.
How his approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people reconnect with their own values and goals. It is useful for dealing with loss, low self-worth, life changes and ongoing emotional pain by creating space to talk and be heard.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to how emotions show up in relationships and personal patterns. It helps people notice repeated interaction patterns and try new ways of relating, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and relationship distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. This means trying things, checking how they land, and adjusting as the work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, useful when travel is difficult, or simpler for short check-ins and reviews. Others prefer a longer in-person style conversation, so discussing practical arrangements up front helps ensure sessions fit day-to-day life and the person’s aims.
