Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, and she offers sessions designed around each person’s needs. Cecile aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and find clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.

She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of each session. Conversations focus on what someone can do next rather than on labels or diagnoses.

Background and approach

Sessions are tailored to the individual and paced to suit their situation and goals. Cecile has substantial experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship difficulties. She also helps with issues such as addiction, ADHD, body image, and the impact of chronic illness.

Her background includes setting up and running a voluntary youth counselling service that supported young people aged 11 to 25. She has worked alongside LGBT communities and supported clients via organisations such as the Black Trans Foundation and Gendered Intelligence. She continues to develop that work and describes herself as an ally to gender-diverse people.

Sessions are usually 50 minutes and can be short-term or longer-term depending on need. Cecile can accommodate people who work irregular hours by arranging sessions around rota changes when agreed in advance.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. It can help people who notice repeated difficulties in trust, closeness or abandonment fears. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and prioritises listening, empathy and collaboration to help someone find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people map and change emotional patterns in relationships and in self-regulation, often useful for grief, anxiety and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the journey and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through goals, personal preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Sessions are collaborative and adapted as needs change so clients can find what works for them.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, time-limited reflections or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
