About Oskars

Oskars Grins helps people who are struggling with grief, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, parenting strain, and major life changes. He also supports those facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, career shifts, and a range of family and communication difficulties.

Oskars names LGBT concerns among his focus areas and works with people affected by illness, chronic pain, cancer and caregiver stress. He uses a person-centred style of counselling that puts the client at the heart of the work.

Background and approach

Sessions are grounded in empathic listening, non-judgemental acceptance and genuineness. That means the therapist aims to respond to what matters most to the client rather than relying on a rigid set of techniques. Oskars also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns.

Together the client and counsellor explore feelings and attachment patterns to help shift stuck cycles and improve connection to self and others. He has six years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his professional credential.

Oskars has worked with people dealing with the aftermath of cancer treatment, health anxiety, open-relationship issues and difficulties following past therapy that felt unhelpful. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People who wish to begin can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Sessions & fees

Person-centred and emotion-focused work online

Oskars uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a space where the client feels listened to and accepted. This approach concentrates on building an empathic relationship so people can talk through difficult feelings and better understand themselves. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is also part of his practice and focuses on how emotions and attachment patterns influence relationships and personal struggles; it can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems and cycles that feel stuck.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether a person-centred emphasis, emotionally-focused work, or a mix of both feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and the problems a person brings guide that choice rather than a fixed formula.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when connection and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter sessions or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make it simpler to keep up with regular sessions and to access support from wherever the client is located in the United Kingdom.
