Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Emmanuel directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Dr. Oppong commonly integrates Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem so new choices become possible. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replaces them with experiments and skills that reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions begin with a conversation about what matters most and may adapt techniques over time if something is not helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
