About Etienne

Etienne Oblado offers a client-centred approach that focuses on each person’s experience and strengths. He listens with attention and aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard. Etienne works from a belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and that therapy is a collaborative process.

He holds BACP, which is shown as his listed professional credential. He has nine years of experience working with a range of concerns.

Background and approach

These include addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around motivation, self-esteem and confidence. He also supports people coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar experiences, grief, stress and sleep problems. Etienne uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.

This can include client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools to spot patterns, emotionally-focused work around connections, motivational interviewing to strengthen goals, and psychodynamic ideas when useful. He aims to help people make practical changes and better understand recurring feelings and behaviours.

People who come to him for help might also bring issues such as parenting strain, work stress, anger, intimacy concerns, obsessive or compulsive behaviour, process addictions, jealousy, infidelity or questions about non-monogamous relationships. He also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Etienne works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflective conversation to help people feel heard and understood. Online sessions can recreate that space with steady, empathic listening and gentle prompts to clarify feelings and goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behaviour. In an online setting this work often uses short exercises, thought records and goal-setting that can be completed between sessions to build new routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and emotional responses in relationships, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Online counselling can be used to discuss these patterns, rehearse new responses and track changes over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Etienne will work collaboratively to explore which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He adapts tools and pace so the work fits what the client hopes to achieve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can include shorter check-ins or structured exercises that slot into everyday life, helping progress between meetings.
