Åse Greenacre, BACP

Åse Greenacre is credentialed in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is the British professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. She grew up in Sweden and brings a broad international perspective, having lived 14 years in Zurich, Switzerland and more than 20 years in the UK. Her clinical roles have included work within the NHS at a GP surgery alongside experience in private practice, providing support to people from a variety of backgrounds. Åse has helped clients with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, difficulties with motivation, low self-esteem and self-confidence, separation and divorce, and related life concerns.

She works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that clients already possess strengths that can be drawn on to meet difficult moments. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focusing on listening carefully and helping clients build practical ways to move forward. Åse recognises that starting therapy can take courage and she aims to offer a supportive, respectful space for people who decide to begin that step.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Åse uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical skills to manage stress and anxiety - teaching pacing, problem-solving and coping strategies that can help with daily challenges and low motivation. She also offers coaching-style support that concentrates on goal-setting, motivation and practical steps to improve confidence and tackle life transitions. These approaches are presented in clear, accessible ways to help clients apply new strategies between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Åse takes a collaborative stance - listening to each person's goals and preferences, then tailoring techniques to fit their needs so the client and therapist can decide what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Åse is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without travel, helping therapy fit into busy lives and varied circumstances.
