About Emmanuel

Emmanuel Oragui is a counsellor who uses approachable, person-focused ways of working. He aims to bring calm energy and authenticity into sessions so people feel heard. Emmanuel draws on five years of experience and holds a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice and an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy Counselling Skills.

He often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person in front of him.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps can reduce worry or change unhelpful behaviours. Emmanuel has worked with people in schools and community settings, including nurseries, primary and secondary contexts. That background informs a straightforward style for speaking with parents and adults concerned about young people and relationship difficulties.

He describes himself as someone who tries to create a safe, positive atmosphere in sessions. Typical issues he supports include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and parenting pressures. He also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems and major life changes such as separation and bereavement.

Additional focuses include body image, codependency and chronic health challenges. Emmanuel practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and he is open to working with people outside the UK by online formats.

How Emmanuel's approaches work online

Emmanuel combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred and cognitive behavioural tools to support people over video or chat. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and repeating cycles in relationships. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps when someone needs space to talk things through without pressure. Cognitive behavioural techniques break problems down into thoughts and behaviours and offer practical steps to reduce anxiety or improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Emmanuel will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person’s goals, needs and preferences. He adapts methods over time, mixing listening, reflective work and practical exercises as required.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to suit daily routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility needs while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
