About Emmanuel
Emmanuel Oragui is a counsellor who draws on client-centred and attachment-based ways of working. He aims to create a warm, authentic presence in sessions and focuses on building a calm space where people can talk about relationship and parenting concerns. Emmanuel holds a BACP credential, which is listed with his professional details, and he brings five years of experience to his practice.
He often uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help with anxiety and stress.
Background and approach
Those tools are paired with longer-term psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. This mix is used to help people understand what they feel and why certain reactions keep happening. Emmanuel’s background includes work in educational settings and community support roles.
That experience informs his straightforward style and his focus on everyday problems like communication, self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment difficulties, and intimacy-related struggles. Sessions typically involve listening, gentle reflection and practical steps to try between meetings.
Emmanuel aims to help people spot patterns, build coping skills and test new ways of relating. He describes his role as a steady, engaged presence who helps clients find clearer ways forward. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
People can expect a calm, conversational approach that combines short-term techniques with deeper exploration over time.

Therapies that suit online parenting and relationship work
Emmanuel uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early patterns affect current relationships. This approach looks at how people connect and what triggers fears of rejection or distance, which is useful for intimacy and parenting concerns.He also draws on client-centred therapy, which means sessions begin with open listening and follow whatever the person brings. That way the pace and topics reflect each person’s concerns and priorities rather than a fixed agenda.
He often balances those approaches with cognitive behavioural techniques to help manage anxiety and stress in day-to-day life. CBT-style work gives clear exercises and small practical steps that can be tried between sessions to see what helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emmanuel will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. The plan can change over time as needs and aims become clearer, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or varied locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in quickly without an appointment. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to practise skills between sessions.
