Emmanuel Oragui, BACP

Emmanuel Oragui brings a pleasant, calm presence to his counselling work, using personal authenticity and steady energy to help create a positive atmosphere for each client. He aims to build an environment where people feel supported and able to explore their feelings and experiences without judgement.

He has a deep commitment to community practice and extensive experience working with a wide age range, from young children through older clients. His background includes supporting provisions in nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools and sixth forms, and he is recognised as a specialist in working with young people. This experience has shaped his approach and reinforced his belief in tailored support for different developmental stages.

Grateful for the opportunities that have helped him grow professionally, he consistently strives to give back to the communities he serves. He approaches each day with a readiness to go above and beyond to support those in need and to respond to a broad range of emotional challenges.

He obtained an Advance Diploma in Psychotherapy Counselling Skills and a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice to underpin his work, and he also holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He remains committed to ongoing learning and development to better meet the needs of his clients.

Approaches, Online Access, and Collaborative Care

Emmanuel draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide his work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for grief, relationship problems, and attachment-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathetic, non-directive support where the client leads the pace and topics, which can help with self-esteem, life transitions, and building emotional resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with difficult life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emmanuel works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques and combines approaches where appropriate so the work reflects what matters most to the client and their situation.

Online therapy with Emmanuel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions or travel, and access support from different locations while working with a registered professional.
