Oskars Grins, BACP

Oskars Grins practices from a person-centred perspective that foregrounds empathy, acceptance, and genuine presence to help people understand the roots of their distress and find ways to change. He creates a therapeutic space where individuals can explore painful or confusing feelings without fear of judgement, supporting the development of self-awareness and a clearer sense of identity that can guide personal growth.

Rather than focusing on symptom reduction through a medical model, he emphasises deep listening and the therapeutic relationship as the engine for change. Sessions are oriented around the client’s experience, with attention to whatever issues feel most important for that person’s wellbeing. He listens for patterns across life story, relationships, and current struggles to help clients reflect on how they will know therapy has made a meaningful difference.

He has worked with people facing grief and bereavement, including end-of-life and palliative contexts, and with those adjusting to life after cancer treatment. He also supports clients with health anxiety, LGBTQ matters, relationship challenges such as infidelity and non-traditional relationship structures, career transitions, and the aftermath of unhelpful past therapy. His practice covers a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Oskars brings a compassionate, non-directive stance that aims to kindle each person’s capacity for self-understanding and growth. He is registered with the BACP - the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and offers therapy to adults based in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients who feel he may be a good fit are encouraged to get in touch to explore next steps.
