About Etienne

Etienne Oblado is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred way of working. He meets people where they are and focuses on their strengths. Etienne uses collaborative, practical methods to help people tackle worries about relationships, addiction, mood and trauma.

He has nine years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Etienne emphasises that each person knows their own story best and that small steps can lead to meaningful change.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused when that suits the client. In practice he blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening and skills-based techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. That mix helps when someone needs to process difficult memories and also build new ways of coping day to day.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want to find the will to change habits or tackle addictions. Etienne works with common issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and stress. He also supports people with relationship concerns, intimacy problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career decisions and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas include obsessive or compulsive patterns, process addictions and questions around non-monogamous relationships. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The emphasis is on practical techniques, steady emotional support and helping people move toward clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online trauma and recovery

Etienne commonly combines Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports people in processing difficult memories and reducing the hold those memories have on daily life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre, offering a non-judgemental space to talk and make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. He works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs and goals. Early sessions often focus on what is most urgent, then on skills and pacing that fit with the client’s pace and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone calls can be quicker or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing exercises or people who prefer text-based communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
