About Etienne
Etienne Oblado is a counsellor with nine years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works from a person-centred view and places the client's experience at the heart of each session. Etienne focuses on issues such as addiction, relationships, trauma, low self-esteem and depression, helping people make practical changes that matter to them.
He believes people bring strengths and knowledge of their own lives. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice those strengths and use them to move through hard moments.
Background and approach
Etienne supports people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, sleep problems, parenting pressures and career uncertainty. His approach mixes familiar methods with deeper exploration. He draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally focused work to address feelings and patterns.
Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic perspectives can also appear when relevant to the issue at hand. People who come for help can expect a collaborative process. Etienne focuses on clear goals and small, manageable steps.
Conversations cover feelings, behaviour and the practical choices that create change. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that may be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. Etienne will talk through what is most important to you and try different ways of working until you find a good fit. Goals, preferences and how you respond in early sessions guide which methods are used together.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls let you read non-verbal cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for regular check-ins, quick reflections or when writing helps you process thoughts. These formats make it easier to continue work across different life demands while keeping the focus on progress and practical next steps.
