About Emmanuel
Emmanuel Oragui is a counsellor who uses a warm, authentic presence to help people feel heard. He brings energy and a calm approach to sessions so people can begin to talk about difficult things. Emmanuel holds a BACP credential and draws on five years of practice in the United Kingdom.
He works with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns, and also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
He helps with parenting strain, grief, and the practical impact of life changes. Phobias are included among the areas he lists as a focus. Emmanuel’s style aims to create a positive atmosphere where people can talk openly.
He uses client-centred conversation to follow what matters most to each person. He also uses ideas from attachment-based and psychodynamic approaches to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. When useful, he incorporates cognitive behavioural techniques to help with thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
He can also draw on Jungian ideas to explore personal meaning and life themes. Sessions are adapted to the issue and to each person’s pace. Emmanuel has worked across nurseries, primary and secondary schools and sixth forms, and he says that experience shaped his way of relating to people.
He continues to build on his training and professional learning to support a wide range of concerns.
Practical therapy approaches for online work
Emmanuel draws on client-centred work to make online sessions feel conversational and focused on what matters to the person. This approach helps people set their own pace and bring the topics that feel most urgent. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can be useful for worries about intimacy or repeated relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Emmanuel works collaboratively to decide what fits. He listens to goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. Together they review what helps and adjust as needed so the work stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions around daily life and to match how a person prefers to communicate.
