Etienne Oblado

Etienne Oblado is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people understand and work through difficult feelings. He draws on a range of methods to support change and make everyday life feel more manageable. Etienne presents in a calm, straightforward way and aims to help people build on their own strengths.

He has nine years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and a BACP accreditation. Etienne helps people facing anxiety, depression, anger and stress, as well as those coping with trauma, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also works with issues such as self-esteem, grief, sleeping problems and career uncertainty.

In sessions he focuses on practical steps alongside listening to what matters to each person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused ideas to deepen understanding of emotions. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding momentum for change.

People who meet him can expect collaboration about goals and a pace set to their needs. Etienne often blends short-term strategies for immediate relief with deeper work when that feels right. He encourages small, sustainable changes that fit into daily life.

If someone wants to begin, Etienne asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. He works with English-speaking clients and accepts international enquiries.

How therapies like CBT and client-centred work online

Etienne uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people make choices that fit their lives. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a clearer sense of what matters to them.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression and anger in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how urgent the problems feel. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
