About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a BACP counsellor with 18 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers person-centred work that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and identity concerns. Sessions are normally 50 minutes and planned for the same day and time each week where possible.
Cecile keeps a practical focus in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people name painful emotions. Conversations aim to uncover patterns and small steps people can try between meetings. She also works with issues such as addiction, sleep and eating problems, and challenges linked to chronic illness.
Her background includes running a voluntary youth counselling service for people aged 11 to 25. That experience informs how she supports younger clients and adults who grew up with difficult experiences. She has also provided support through The Black Trans Foundation and appears on the Gendered Intelligence therapist directory after completing their training course for working alongside trans and gender diverse people.
Cecile uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Sessions draw on mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when helpful. The aim is to notice emotional patterns and build clearer ways of responding to stress and relationship strain.
She offers short-term work and longer-term therapy. Cecile can be flexible for people on shift patterns when sessions need to move, provided changes are agreed in advance. If you want to begin, the usual route is to complete the short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people to recognise and name strong emotions and the relationship patterns that keep them stuck. It is often used for difficulties where feelings are hard to say or where attachment needs shape interactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and helps people try different ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, giving space to speak and helping clients find their own solutions through reflective listening.Working out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, how emotions show up, and practical needs, then try methods that suit those aims. Adjustments are made as the work proceeds, and techniques from mindfulness or motivational interviewing can be added when useful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify them here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter timings or avoid camera use if that helps them engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals who work online aim to match approach and scheduling to your life and goals.
