Åse Greenacre , BACP

Åse Greenacre is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom 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 UK. Her clinical work has spanned the NHS, where she worked within a GP surgery, and private practice, giving her experience with a wide range of presenting issues.

Åse supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as self-esteem and confidence, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, career questions, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and other patterns that affect day-to-day wellbeing.

She approaches therapy from an evidence-based perspective while valuing each person as the expert of their own story. Åse aims to help clients identify and build on existing strengths, develop practical coping skills, and navigate meaningful change. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and seeks to offer respectful, empathic support throughout the therapeutic process. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body with which she holds accreditation.

Evidence-based techniques and remote support

Åse draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical, skills-focused work with supportive relational care. One strand emphasizes structured, skill-building methods that help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies, and practice new ways of managing stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. This approach is useful for problems such as low self-esteem, sleep and eating disturbances, and day-to-day coping with life changes.

Another strand focuses on trauma-aware and relational support that explores the impact of difficult experiences on relationships, attachment, and emotional regulation. This form of work aims to help clients process painful experiences, restore a sense of safety in relationships, and rebuild resilience after loss, abuse, or significant life transitions.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Åse works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances and adapts the therapeutic approach accordingly, so the plan reflects what the client needs and wants to achieve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes this work more accessible and flexible. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy lives, connect from familiar environments, and maintain continuity of care even when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide effective support through these formats, helping clients make steady progress toward their goals.
