About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people manage grief, relationship strain, depression, addiction and the stresses of big life changes. He works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, parenting and career shifts. He also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer recovery, caregiving stress and compassion fatigue.
His main style is person-centred, sometimes called client-centred, which focuses on listening and understanding rather than teaching specific techniques. Sessions are built on warm, non-judgemental listening and straightforward conversation. This approach aims to help people reconnect with their own values and make choices that feel right for them.
Oskars also uses ideas from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at emotional patterns in relationships and how those affect communication and closeness. That can help when people find themselves repeating the same arguments or feeling stuck in how they relate to others.
He has six years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed exactly as supplied. He has worked with people affected by cancer and end-of-life situations and has a particular interest in grief and bereavement work.
People often come to him after difficult experiences in previous therapy or when they feel unable to talk about sensitive topics with friends and family. He invites anyone considering counselling to use the Start Therapy button to begin a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the available schedule.

How these approaches translate to online counselling
Person-centred counselling focuses on empathic listening, acceptance and helping a person reconnect with their own values. Online sessions based on this approach aim to recreate that listening space so people can reflect, make sense of feelings and find direction.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in relationships and how those patterns shape interactions. Online work using EFT ideas can help people notice recurring emotional responses and practise different ways of expressing needs and emotions with others.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest whether a person-centred style, EFT elements, or a mix might suit best. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses to ensure the work stays relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work when managing health challenges or caring responsibilities, while the practical arrangements for each session are agreed together.
