About Emmanuel

Emmanuel Oragui is a counsellor who works from a warm, authentic presence. He brings energy and a calm manner into sessions to help people feel heard. Emmanuel aims to create an atmosphere where people can talk openly about stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and other difficult issues.

He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That includes Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred listening, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. These methods are used to make sense of patterns, manage strong feelings and build practical coping steps.

Emmanuel has around five years of experience and has worked in settings with young people, including nurseries, primary and secondary schools and sixth forms. That background contributes to his familiarity with parenting stresses, family tensions and concerns linked to growing up.

His training includes an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy Counselling Skills and a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

People often come for help with trauma and abuse, intimacy and self-esteem, life changes, bipolar challenges, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Emmanuel also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and separation or divorce.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. International clients may be supported; please confirm current session options before booking.

How Emmanuel’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early bonds shape how people relate now. It looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand and change how they connect and respond to others, which can relieve anxiety and improve closeness. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to speak and be listened to without judgement; the counsellor reflects and supports the person to find their own solutions and build self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses straightforward strategies to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours that reduce stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Emmanuel treats it as a collaboration. He will work with each person to decide which mix of approaches fits their goals, needs and preferences, adapting the work as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
