About Åse
Åse Greenacre is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She speaks English, German and Swedish and draws on a multicultural background after living and working in several countries. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Clients commonly come with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes such as separation and divorce.
Background and approach
Åse also supports people facing parenting concerns, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She treats these topics as everyday problems that can be talked through and worked on together. Her work includes experience in the NHS at a GP surgery as well as independent practice.
That mix has given her practice a practical focus on short-term goals and doable steps. Sessions tend to look at what is worrying a person now and what small changes might help between meetings. Åse believes the person in therapy is the expert in their own life.
She listens for strengths and habits that can be used to manage stress and build confidence. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs. When someone is ready to begin she asks about the most pressing concern and practical constraints like work or childcare.
Together they agree a plan with clear, achievable goals and ways to check progress. Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.
Practical approaches and online therapy options
Åse often uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on current problems and everyday coping skills. One common approach looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours to spot patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then tests small behaviour changes to shift those patterns. This can help with stress, anxiety, sleep and motivation.She also draws on supportive counselling methods that focus on listening, building confidence and identifying personal strengths. These methods help when someone is facing grief, relationship difficulties, parenting pressures or life transitions. Work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs so the approach can change as therapy progresses.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and any practical constraints and then agree a plan together. That plan can combine short-term techniques and longer conversations depending on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make attendance easier. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style sessions while phone meetings can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between fuller sessions, giving flexibility to fit therapy around daily life.
