About Oskars
Oskars Grins helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, addiction, depression and other difficult life changes. He works with people dealing with intimacy issues, sleeping problems, career shifts, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue. He also supports those navigating LGBT concerns, trauma, family conflict and substance issues.
Oskars takes a person-centred approach. He listens without judgement and aims to offer empathy and honesty. Sessions focus on understanding the person as a whole rather than just reducing symptoms.
How Oskars works
That means more talking and reflection than learning specific techniques. In practice he aims to create a steady therapeutic connection. This gives space to look at personal history, present struggles and what needs to change.
He pays attention to how feelings, relationships and past events shape day-to-day life. He has six years' experience working with people affected by cancer recovery, health anxiety, grief and bereavement, and the emotional impacts of role changes such as public-facing work. He has developed a specialist interest in grief and helping when loss feels stuck or overwhelming.
Oskars believes therapy should meet each person where they are. Together with clients he explores goals, meaning and practical next steps. He works to help people recognise themselves more fully and move toward the life they want.

Online support options
Person-centred and Emotion-focused approaches online
Oskars uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's own perspective. This approach means sessions centre on listening, empathy and helping people reconnect with their sense of self. It can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and processing difficult feelings.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at how emotions influence relationships and behaviour. EFT helps people understand emotional patterns and respond differently to attachment or intimacy-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, needs and preferences and suggest which method feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for a full conversation when you want face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options let people access regular support without travel and help fit therapy around work and family life.
