About Åse

Åse Greenacre offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, stress and the ups and downs of life. She listens to each person’s story and looks for strengths that can be used to move forward. Her style is straightforward and encouraging for those who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Åse has 16 years of experience working in the UK health system and in private practice. She has worked in a GP surgery within the NHS and with people from many different backgrounds. She grew up in Sweden and has lived for long periods abroad, including in Switzerland and the UK, which informs her cross-cultural perspective.

In sessions she aims to help clients with practical steps that fit their life. That can mean talking through ways to manage panic, improving sleep, or building confidence after separation. She treats emotional concerns such as stress, depression, grief and relationship and parenting worries in a direct, down-to-earth way.

Åse values the client’s own knowledge of their life and sees therapy as a collaboration. She encourages small, achievable changes and pays attention to the immediate problems people bring into the room. She also helps explore longer standing patterns when useful.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English, German and Swedish and are based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the site matching process and schedule according to the times available.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits

Åse uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and stress. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing those thoughts in everyday life to reduce panic and worry. This helps by breaking the cycle of fear and avoidance in small steps.

Another common method she uses teaches practical skills for managing intense feelings and improving sleep and daily routine. These skills aim to make day-to-day life more manageable and give tools to handle sudden anxiety or stress without becoming overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Åse collaborates with each person to agree goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made or circumstances change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and can reduce the time needed for appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone work when bandwidth is limited, while others choose longer conversations. Discussing practical arrangements during the matching process helps ensure sessions match everyday life and commitments.
