About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people struggling with grief, relationship problems, low self-esteem and LGBT concerns. He also supports people facing career changes, addiction, trauma, parenting stress and depression. He aims to offer a steady, non-judgemental presence so people can talk honestly about what is hard for them.
He uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions focus on the person's experience rather than labels or diagnostic categories.
Background and approach
That style involves listening deeply, reflecting what is heard, and helping people reconnect with their sense of self. He describes the work as collaborative and grounded in empathy and genuineness. In practice this means asking what would make therapy feel worthwhile for you and checking progress as you go.
Conversations can cover practical problems, painful memories, intimacy and sexual concerns, and how loss or illness has affected life and identity. He has worked with people after cancer treatment and with those exploring kink, open relationships and related issues. Oskars has six years of clinical experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He prefers to avoid framing problems as only symptoms to be fixed, and instead helps people understand the roots of their distress so they can make lasting change. If someone wants to know whether his way of working fits them, he invites an initial conversation by following the site's matching steps and scheduling a session.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people reconnect with their own sense of identity. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes because it centres the person's experience rather than labels. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships and can help when people struggle with intimacy, attachment or recurring relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which approach suits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues become clearer and progress is reviewed together.
If you are considering online work, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also be helpful if someone needs to work without being on camera or wants to keep sessions to a practical phone-style conversation. Confirm the available formats when you match so you know what to expect.
