About Emmanuel
Counsellor Emmanuel Oragui is a BACP member with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, family matters, grief, parenting and bipolar. He also lists other areas such as abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.
Emmanuel works in a counselling style that draws on attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas among other approaches. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people talk through current difficulties and spot patterns that affect their feelings and relationships. He uses practical steps as well as reflective discussion depending on the issue.
His background includes work in schools and community settings supporting young people across early years, primary and secondary phases. That experience shapes how he explains things and how he helps with parenting and family-related worries. He describes his training as including an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy Counselling Skills and a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice.
Emmanuel describes working with a wide range of concerns from grief and life changes to chronic illness, codependency and relationship breakdown. He also mentions work around adoption and foster care, blended family issues and caregiver stress. These topics often involve practical problem-solving alongside emotional support.
People booking a first session should expect a straightforward initial meeting to set out concerns and agree a way forward. Sessions follow the counsellor's stated approaches and focus areas. If unsure about formats or specific session options, confirm current choices before booking.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeating difficult relationship dynamics. Client-centred work focuses on the person in the room and uses listening and reflection to help them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offer practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Emmanuel will talk with each person about what matters to them and test what fits best. That means the plan can shift as the conversations develop and as different issues come up.
If you want to use online counselling, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to continue work across different locations and time zones when arranged with the counsellor.
