About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a counsellor who supports people facing grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship problems, addiction and identity questions. He works with issues such as low self-esteem, career change, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns. Oskars brings a calm, listening approach to help people find a clearer sense of themselves and their next steps.
He practises person-centred methods that focus on listening without judgement. Sessions are built around empathy and genuine, honest responses rather than teaching a fixed set of techniques.
Background and approach
This helps clients name what matters and decide what kind of change they want. Oskars also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which pays attention to how feelings shape interactions and personal choices. That approach can be useful when people struggle with attachment, relationship hurts, or intense emotional reactions.
He has six years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. His background includes work with people affected by cancer, end-of-life and palliative care situations, and those processing long-term grief. People come to him when other supports feel insufficient or unhelpful.
He aims to offer a steady presence where clients can speak openly about painful or confusing topics. From there, they work together to see what practical steps or shifts in perspective feel right.

Approaches Oskars lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How these approaches work online
Person-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers empathic listening, acceptance and genuine responses so people can explore who they are and what they need. This approach helps with grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain and life transitions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape behaviour and relationships. It helps people recognise patterns, name core feelings and try new ways of relating to themselves and others, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.
Choosing the right way of working is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then tailor sessions accordingly. Clients and counsellor collaborate on what to focus on and adjust the approach as progress is made.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let the counsellor see emotional cues and support deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when sitting for a full video call is difficult. Live chat or text messages suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, family life or other commitments.
