Åse Greenacre , BACP

Åse Greenacre is a UK-credentialed therapist with 16 years of professional experience who draws on a long personal and professional journey across Europe. She grew up in Sweden, spent 14 years living in Zurich, Switzerland, and has lived in the United Kingdom for more than 20 years, bringing a multicultural perspective to her work. Her clinical experience includes roles within the NHS at a GP surgery as well as in private practice, supporting people through a range of challenges.

Åse works with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting difficulties, low motivation, low self-esteem, separation and divorce, and related concerns about confidence. She values the view that each person is the expert in their own story and seeks to build on clients' existing strengths to help them move through difficult times. Taking the first step toward therapy is often courageous, and Åse aims to offer a supportive, respectful space for that work.

She holds the BACP credential - a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is able to provide therapy in English, German, and Swedish.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Åse uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. One common strand of her work emphasizes skills-based methods that help clients develop coping strategies, emotional regulation, and clearer problem-solving - approaches that are useful for stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and everyday challenges. Another strand emphasizes exploratory, reflective work that helps people understand patterns in relationships, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions, supporting longer-term personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Åse works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress and understanding develop.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for this collaborative work. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face connection when that is helpful, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to access support between appointments or when scheduling or mobility are concerns. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
