Åse Greenacre

Åse Greenacre is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger and life transitions. She works with issues like depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and sleep or eating difficulties. Åse speaks English, German and Swedish and brings 16 years of professional experience in the UK health and private sectors.

She grew up in Sweden and has lived and worked in several countries, including many years in Zurich and two decades in the UK. That international background informs a flexible, down-to-earth way of talking about problems. Åse has worked in the NHS at a GP surgery as well as in private practice, so she is familiar with different care settings.

In sessions she invites people to tell their story and treats them as the experts on their own lives. She looks for strengths to build on and practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person’s needs.

Åse listens for patterns such as control issues, impulsivity, isolation and attachment difficulties, and she helps clients develop clearer communication and coping strategies. She also supports parents dealing with the strain of caregiving and people managing career or major life changes.

Therapy involves gentle challenge alongside practical ideas to try between sessions. Åse uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Åse uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and clearer communication. One common method involves structured problem-solving and behavioural strategies to reduce anger and anxiety by changing habits and testing small adjustments in daily life. Another helpful approach focuses on exploring attachment and relationship patterns to improve how people communicate and set boundaries with others.

Finding the right method is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options in simple terms, and try approaches that fit your situation. Together you will review what helps and adjust the work as needed so sessions feel relevant and doable.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check the session formats before booking to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy when life circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements so therapy can fit into everyday life.
