About Oskars Grins
Oskars Grins is a person-centred therapist who believes that understanding oneself and the roots of distress is the first step toward meaningful change. He works from the core idea that people have an innate capacity for growth when offered the right conditions - namely empathy, genuine regard, and honesty from a therapist. Through careful, nonjudgmental listening he aims to create an environment where difficult or overwhelming feelings can be acknowledged and explored, allowing personal development to follow.
He practices therapeutic presence, which involves deep empathic listening and an authentic, accepting stance that helps clients feel heard without pressure to perform or conform. Rather than focusing on symptom reduction through a medical model, his work emphasises experiencing the whole person and supporting self-actualising tendencies so individuals can move toward a life that reflects their values and sense of self.
Oskars has particular experience supporting people with grief and bereavement, including work with end-of-life and palliative clients and their families. He also works with adjusting to life after cancer treatment, health anxiety, LGBTQ issues, relationship challenges such as open relationships and infidelity, and life transitions like career change or public-facing roles. He aims to build a strong therapeutic alliance in which thoughts, feelings, and goals are explored so clients can gain clearer understanding and direction.
He holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and uses a person-centred stance alongside emotionally-focused methods to support clients as they work through grief, relationships, identity, and other life challenges.

Person-Centred and Emotionally-Focused Support Online
Oskars uses client-centred therapy to offer an accepting, empathetic space where clients are encouraged to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach emphasizes the individual’s capacity for growth and can be especially helpful for those struggling with self-esteem, identity, life transitions, or the emotional aftermath of loss.
He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on identifying and transforming unhelpful emotional patterns within relationships and the self. EFT can support people facing attachment issues, relationship conflicts, or intense emotional responses by helping to create new, more secure ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Oskars works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He discusses options openly and adapts his way of working as therapy progresses to ensure it remains helpful.
Online therapy with Oskars is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support around work, family, and daily life. These options provide flexibility in how and when clients engage, allowing ongoing therapeutic work even when in-person sessions are not possible.
