Åse Greenacre , BACP

Åse Greenacre offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed. She helps with everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those facing grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges and issues around intimacy and boundaries.

Åse trained and works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, with 16 years of professional experience. She has worked both for the NHS at a GP surgery and in private practice. She grew up in Sweden and has lived abroad for many years, including long periods in Switzerland and the UK, which informs her understanding of cross-cultural life changes.

In sessions she listens to each person’s story and helps them identify strengths they already have. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between appointments. She aims to make sessions feel steady and manageable rather than overwhelming.

People often come for help with sleep, eating, motivation, anger or emotional burnout. Åse also supports those managing complex conditions such as bipolar disorder or ADHD and people feeling isolated or stuck after separation and divorce.

Her work emphasises clear communication and realistic goals. She encourages small changes that build confidence and reduce daily distress. New clients start with a short matching process and can choose from several online session formats.

Approaches that suit online work and everyday life

Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques commonly used in this work are practical problem-focused work and supportive, person-centred talking therapy. Practical problem-focused work breaks down specific difficulties into small steps and tries concrete actions between sessions, which can help with sleep problems, anxiety, motivation and day-to-day coping. Person-centred talking therapy offers steady, non-judgemental listening that helps people make sense of emotions linked to grief, relationship strain or past hurt.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most to the person, discuss possible ways forward and agree together which methods to try. This allows adjustments as goals change and as what helps becomes clearer.

Online therapy delivers this same collaborative work through different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility for people who prefer typing or need to fit sessions around busy days. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to work on practical changes in daily life.
