About Etienne

Etienne Oblado works from a person-centred stance that puts the client's experience first. He uses that approach to create a respectful space where people can speak openly about stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship concerns. Etienne is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

He has nine years of practice in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Etienne combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques.

Background and approach

He helps people spot unhelpful thinking, practise different ways of responding, and strengthen emotional connection where intimacy or relationship problems are present. Sessions are paced to each person's needs and aim to build practical skills alongside greater self-understanding. Clients come with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and compassion fatigue.

Etienne also supports people dealing with process addictions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar mood concerns, and the fallout from infidelity, divorce or jealousy. He frames these topics in straightforward terms and works to make change manageable. Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas appear in his work when exploring values, past patterns and what keeps someone stuck.

That mix helps with both immediate goals and longer-term shifts in how a person sees themselves and their choices. He treats each person as the expert on their life and collaborates on goals. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

International clients may be matched for online work and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Etienne names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Etienne often uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. This approach focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back a person's experience so they feel heard and clearer about next steps.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many day-to-day coping challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in his work when relationship patterns and attachment needs are the focus; it helps people recognise emotions and rebuild connection in ways that feel manageable.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Etienne will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and together you can decide which mix of methods to try. Changes are approached step by step, with practical exercises and reflection between sessions when helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family commitments or different time zones while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
