About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers person-centred support designed to help people talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward. Sessions are arranged as regular 50-minute meetings and can be short-term or longer-term depending on need.
Cecile keeps the focus on the person rather than labels. She listens without interruption and helps individuals make sense of their emotions. The aim is practical: to understand what is happening now and identify steps that feel manageable.

That work involved helping young people cope with distress and build everyday wellbeing. She has also provided support to members of the LGBTQ+ community through volunteering with The Black Trans Foundation and being listed on the Gendered Intelligence directory.
Cecile practises approaches that include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She draws on these methods to help people with relationship concerns, grief, anxiety, trauma and issues around identity and self-esteem. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

Online support
How these approaches work online and what they can help with
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings shape close relationships and how different emotional responses can cause distance or conflict. Online sessions using EFT can help people notice patterns and practise new ways of responding to emotional triggers.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds affect current behaviour and connection. Working with attachment ideas can help someone understand why they react strongly in relationships and try new, healthier ways of relating.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of each session and prioritises listening, acceptance and joint problem solving. This straightforward style can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and life changes by focusing on the person's own goals and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls give face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
