About Oskars
Oskars Grins is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, addiction and major life changes. He also supports people dealing with depression, intimacy concerns, parenting stress and compassion fatigue. Oskars works with a client-centred style that aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside person-centred methods to focus on emotions and the way they shape relationships and self-understanding. Sessions are based on listening carefully, offering empathy and reflecting what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
The work tends to be conversational rather than directive, helping clients name and feel what is happening inside them. Oskars pays particular attention to grief and bereavement, including adjustment after serious illness and end-of-life care. He has supported people through the aftermath of cancer treatment, health anxiety and the strain of caregiving.
He also helps clients who struggle with attachment, abandonment or complicated relationship patterns such as infidelity and open relationships. Practical matters such as career change, public life pressures, sleeping problems and substance use are addressed alongside emotional themes. He aims to help people reconnect with a sense of who they are and what they want next.
His approach does not centre on medical diagnosis but on understanding the whole person. Oskars is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has six years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and provided through a range of online formats to suit different needs.

Online support
Emotion-focused and Person-centred Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, pays attention to the way feelings shape how people relate to themselves and others. It helps people name core emotions and use that awareness to change stuck patterns in relationships and personal life. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on deep listening, empathy and acceptance so people can explore who they are and what they want without pressure.Finding the right approach is part of the work and will happen together. The therapist will discuss goals, try out ways of working and adapt based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where the client's needs and preferences guide which methods are used.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging works well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they allow continuity when in-person meetings are not possible.
