About Etienne
Etienne Oblado is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience. He works with people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. He also supports issues around grief, intimacy, sleep, parenting challenges and career questions.
Etienne expects clients to know their own story and looks to build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on noticing the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. He uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of him rather than one fixed method.
In practice he combines cognitive behavioural strategies with person-centred ways of listening. That means helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test different responses, while offering a steady, respectful space to talk things through. He also draws on emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas when relationships or past experiences are central.
Many clients come for help with process addictions, compulsive behaviours and intimacy-related problems such as infidelity, jealousy or non-monogamous relationship issues. He also supports people dealing with bipolar mood management, anger, phobias and personality-related concerns.
Etienne accepts international clients and works in English. Prices vary by location and his practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Etienne mixes practical approaches for online work
Etienne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to see what helps, which suits problems like anxiety, low mood and compulsive behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy involves listening without judgement and helping people clarify their own goals and values, which can help with relationship strain and self-esteem.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are central, helping people notice and name strong emotions to change interaction patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; he discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods over time so the plan fits the person’s needs.
