About Etienne
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience, Etienne Oblado focuses on addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress and life changes, and uses several therapy styles to help them manage problems and build coping skills.
Etienne practices Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they suit a person's needs. Sessions aim to explore what matters to the client, identify patterns that keep difficulties going, and test practical strategies that can reduce symptoms or improve relationships.
People come for help with a wide range of concerns including sleep problems, parenting strain, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues and process addictions such as compulsive behaviours. He also works with issues around divorce, infidelity, jealousy, narcissism and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Etienne lists coaching and support for career questions and compassion fatigue among his practice areas.
His approach starts from the view that clients are the experts on their own lives. He helps clients notice strengths and choices, and supports practical steps toward change. Conversations include short-term goal work as well as deeper reflection on past patterns when that seems useful.
Sessions are conducted in English and Etienne accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective, listening closely to what matters and helping people find their own solutions; it can help with self-esteem, relationship worries and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional patterns within relationships and can help people understand and change how they respond to close others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Etienne discusses different methods with each person and agrees on what to try based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include short-term skill work or deeper exploration of past patterns, and the plan can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins without a long commute and suit people who prefer not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use a variety of approaches online, and Etienne aims to match the method and pace to a client's needs rather than pushing one single model.
