Emmanuel Oragui
Calm, genuine presence for relationship and stress issues
About Emmanuel
Emmanuel Oragui is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ways of working to create a calm, genuine presence in sessions. He combines warmth and straightforwardness to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship troubles and grief. Emmanuel holds BACP registration which he uses alongside his therapeutic skills.
He aims to make sessions feel safe and approachable. Emmanuel listens for patterns in relationships and past experiences, then helps people make sense of them.
Background and approach
He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current connections. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy are offered when helpful. These tools focus on changing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
Emmanuel also brings elements of Jungian and psychodynamic thinking to explore deeper themes and personal meaning. Emmanuel has five years of experience working in community settings and educational environments. That background has involved supporting a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, chronic health challenges and coping with life changes.
Sessions are held in English and can be arranged for clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. He seeks to match his approach to each person's needs, offering straightforward guidance and steady support as people work towards clearer thinking and greater emotional balance.

Sessions & fees
Approach-led online therapy for relationships and stress
Emmanuel often combines attachment-based work and client-centred listening in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand why they react in certain ways. Client-centred counselling focuses on empathy and listening, giving space for people to speak and be heard without judgement.He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when a practical plan will help. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and introduces small behaviour changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. These approaches can be used together to match what a person needs at the time.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Emmanuel will talk through goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit each person. He checks in and adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions work well for quieter audio-only check-ins. Live chat and text messaging provide flexibility for short updates, reflective notes or when someone needs to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit support around work, family and travel commitments.
