About Emmanuel
Emmanuel Oragui is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, family concerns, grief, parenting and coping with life changes, and lists support for bipolar-related challenges. Emmanuel also notes experience with abandonment, attachment issues and a range of relationship and personality-related concerns.
He prefers a direct, authentic presence in sessions and aims to create a calm, steady atmosphere where people can talk about hard feelings. Sessions focus on what the person brings - thoughts, feelings and relationships - rather than on jargon. Emmanuel tends to use conversational, person-focused work alongside psychological ideas to help people understand patterns and reactions.
His approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to explore how early relationships shape current trust and intimacy. He also uses elements of cognitive behavioural thinking to look at unhelpful thoughts and practical coping, and psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives to consider deeper patterns and personal meaning.
Emmanuel trained to an advanced diploma level in psychotherapy and a professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling practice, and he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He describes experience working with younger people in schools and with adults across community settings.
People who arrive carrying guilt or shame often find sessions focus on understanding where those feelings come from. Conversations can include practical steps for day-to-day coping, exploration of relationship patterns, and making sense of painful memories or identity concerns.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how they react when they feel rejected, abandoned or ashamed.Client-centred work means the counsellor listens without judging and reflects back what the person says. This helps people put words to difficult feelings and decide what they want to focus on next.
CBT techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety and guilt running. These are practical strategies to test unhelpful beliefs and try small changes in day-to-day life.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that fit the person’s needs in a collaborative way.
