Ylenia Ceccarelli works as a relationship counsellor who focuses on improving communication and emotional connection. She uses relationship-focused methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy. Ylenia speaks English and Italian and practises in the United Kingdom.

She holds NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society designation. Ylenia trained in psychosocial studies and studied principles of psychodynamic counselling early in her career. She later completed a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling with CPCAB accreditation, and has practical experience from volunteering as a Samaritans volunteer leader.

Background and approach

Those experiences shaped the way she listens and responds in sessions. Her work often concentrates on patterns that keep people stuck, such as recurring arguments, avoidance of intimacy, or difficulty trusting after betrayal. She helps people name these patterns, understand the feelings beneath them, and try new ways of relating.

Sessions combine emotional focus with systemic thinking so that relationships can change over time. Ylenia also supports people dealing with life changes and identity issues, including immigration-related stress, blended family dynamics and concerns around fatherhood. She can address specific topics like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and infidelity using a relational lens.

Practical matters are kept simple. Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She draws on a handful of established approaches and adapts them to each person’s goals, pace and cultural background.

Bringing attachment and emotionally focused work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand why they react a certain way under stress and supports building safer emotional connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in the moment and how they shape interaction patterns. It is useful for tackling recurring conflicts, trust issues and intimacy problems. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication habits and practical skills couples can use to reduce conflict and increase connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Decisions about which approaches to use are made collaboratively, and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations where facial cues matter, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat enables shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
