Åse Greenacre , BACP

Åse Greenacre is a UK-credentialed therapist with 16 years of professional experience. She grew up in Sweden and has lived abroad for many years, including 14 years in Zurich, Switzerland, and more than 20 years in the United Kingdom. Åse holds the BACP credential, which identifies her as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her standing within UK professional practice.

Her work has included roles within the NHS at a GP surgery as well as in private practice, giving her experience supporting people from varied backgrounds. Åse has helped clients address stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, motivation and low self-esteem, separation and divorce, and related confidence issues. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks to build on the strengths they already possess to find practical ways forward.

Åse recognises that beginning therapy can take courage and meets that moment with understanding and professional support. She provides therapy in English, German and Swedish and aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore concerns, develop coping strategies and work toward their goals.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Åse uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns in thoughts, emotions and behaviours to help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and low mood. These approaches emphasise practical strategies and skills that people can apply between sessions to support day-to-day coping and emotional regulation.

She also incorporates coaching-style work to help clients set clear goals, increase motivation and build actionable steps toward change. This goal-focused element can be especially helpful for issues like career decisions, parenting challenges and restoring confidence after relationship changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Åse works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts her style as the work evolves. Clients can expect a partnership that balances professional guidance with respect for their experience.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to bring evidence-based support to people who need accessible and consistent help.
