About Åse
Counsellor and member of the BACP with 16 years of experience, Åse Greenacre works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting issues, low self-esteem and depression. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and career-related problems. Sessions may also cover ADHD, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and isolation.
Åse grew up in Sweden and has lived across Europe before settling in the UK. She has worked in NHS settings at a GP surgery and in private practice, giving her experience with a wide range of life situations. She believes clients know their own story and brings listening and practical help to conversations about change.
In sessions she aims to identify strengths that can be used to manage problems. She talks things through with clients and looks at small, practical steps they can try between meetings. This can include ways to cope with strong feelings, rebuild confidence and plan for life changes.
She offers counselling in English, German and Swedish. Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary with location. Åse does not take international clients at present.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Åse describes her work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means using methods that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and then practise new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on building communication and problem-solving skills to improve relationships and manage family or parenting strains.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some formats allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, while others use video for a fuller face-to-face feeling. Discuss practical arrangements and timing when you schedule the first session to find what suits everyday life best.
