About Emmanuel
Emmanuel Oragui is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem problems, grieving, parenting concerns, bipolar support and coping with life changes. Emmanuel also lists codependency among his focus areas and supports people dealing with attachment and communication difficulties.
He describes his presence in sessions as energetic and authentic. He aims to build a constructive atmosphere where people can speak frankly about what is troubling them. Emmanuel has worked across education settings including nurseries, primary and secondary schools and sixth forms, which has given him regular contact with younger clients and a range of family-related issues.
His training includes an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy Counselling Skills and a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is listed as BACP in his credentials.
In practice he draws on attachment-based approaches, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic and Jungian concepts. Sessions often focus on understanding patterns, improving communication and developing practical strategies for daily life. Emmanuel aims to combine talking with straightforward techniques so people can test small changes between sessions.
People who come to him for codependency-related worries often want help with boundaries, saying no, and managing intense responsibility for others. He encourages clear goal-setting and step-by-step work so people can try new ways of relating without being overwhelmed.
How sessions work
How Emmanuel blends approaches in online sessions
Emmanuel draws on attachment-based work to look at how early and close relationships affect current patterns. This helps when someone keeps putting others first or struggles to set boundaries. He also uses client-centred principles to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience, encouraging exploration at a pace that feels manageable.Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical experiments. That can be useful for reducing anxiety, testing new ways of speaking up, and changing routine reactions in relationships. These approaches are offered together so thinking, feeling and behaviour are addressed rather than relying on one model alone.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Emmanuel will discuss goals and preferences at the start and adapt methods collaboratively as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist agree on practical steps and which techniques to use between sessions.
