About Åse

Åse Greenacre works with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns and relationship issues, and she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through problems and build coping skills. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of professional experience.

She grew up in Sweden and has lived abroad for many years, including time in Zurich and over 20 years in the United Kingdom. That international background informs how she listens and responds to people from varied backgrounds. She has experience working within an NHS GP surgery and in private practice.

In sessions she asks about what brings someone in and focuses on practical steps that can help day to day. She works with issues such as parenting challenges, self-esteem, motivation, separation and divorce, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, sleeping and eating concerns, and career-related stress. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.

Åse believes the client is the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Early meetings are used to understand immediate needs and agree on goals and methods to try. She aims for clear, straightforward conversations and practical tools to support coping and decision-making.

Her approach draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, improve relationships and cope with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English, German and Swedish and follow professional standards set out by the BACP.

Evidence-based approaches used in remote sessions

Åse draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical ways to manage problems. One approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life experience to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with stress, worry and self-esteem issues. Another approach concentrates on behavioural changes and small, manageable steps to improve sleep, activity levels and motivation, which can support recovery from depression and help with energy and routine.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences together and decide on methods to try. This collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is made or circumstances change.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and reducing travel time so people can attend from different places. If you want to know which session formats are currently offered, please confirm the available options before booking so you can plan around work, childcare or other commitments.
