About Åse
Åse Greenacre offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She introduces a steady, respectful presence and helps clients talk through concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting pressures and losses. Åse uses clear, down-to-earth language and encourages small steps that feel manageable.
She has 16 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work in the NHS at a GP surgery and independent practice.
Background and approach
Åse grew up in Sweden and has lived in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, bringing a cross-cultural perspective to sessions. In conversation she listens for practical patterns that maintain stress and low mood. Together with the person she outlines simple strategies to try between sessions, then reviews what worked and what needs adjusting.
The focus is on usable change rather than jargon or lengthy theory. People often come with concerns about parenting, career decisions, grief, trauma, or feeling stuck. Åse aims to help clients recognise strengths they already have and build on them.
She invites curiosity about how old habits formed and what small experiments might shift them. Starting therapy is framed as a collaboration. Åse asks about goals and adapts the pace to each person.
Her approach suits those who want straightforward discussion, practical coping tools and steady support while working through difficult moments.

How Åse works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This is collaborative work - progress is checked and plans are adjusted as things move on.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist who has the right experience and language skills without relocation.
