Emmanuel Oragui, BACP

Emmanuel Oragui brings a warm, authentic presence to his therapeutic work, combining genuine energy with a calm, supportive approach. He focuses on creating a positive atmosphere where clients feel heard and respected, and he aims to guide people through challenges related to stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, self-esteem, grief, parenting, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

With five years of professional experience, Emmanuel has worked across a wide range of community settings and with people of different ages. He has supported provisions in nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools, and six forms, and he has developed particular expertise in working with young people. This background informs his ability to connect with families, adolescents, and adults facing complex relational and developmental issues.

Emmanuel holds an Advance Diploma in Psychotherapy Counselling Skills and a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice, qualifications that underpin his therapeutic work and ongoing professional development. He is also a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to recognised professional standards. Emmanuel continues to pursue further training and learning, striving to expand his skills so he can better support the individuals and communities he serves.

Integrating Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. Online sessions using this approach can help people explore attachment-related difficulties such as abandonment, intimacy issues, family tensions, and the effects of adoption and foster care by tracing relational patterns and building new ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person in front of the therapist, offering a nonjudgemental space where the client’s own goals and pace lead the work. This approach supports self-esteem, life transitions, and communication or commitment concerns by prioritising empathy, respect, and the client’s autonomy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems like anxiety, stress, low mood, or unhelpful coping. CBT offers practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting that many people find useful alongside longer-term therapeutic work.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Emmanuel will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available via live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and circumstances.
