About Cecile

Cecile Terrelonge is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She offers person-centred work that focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and LGBT concerns, and other life changes. Cecile aims to create a setting where clients can talk openly and be heard without interruption or judgement.

She uses a person-centred approach to keep the client at the heart of sessions. That means conversations focus on what the person can do next, rather than labels or diagnoses. Sessions are usually 50 minutes and commonly scheduled for the same day and time each week, with flexibility for shift-workers when agreed in advance.

Cecile has experience running a voluntary youth counselling service supporting people aged 11 to 25, and she has worked with LGBTQ+ communities through The Black Trans Foundation and the Gendered Intelligence directory. That background informs her work with identity, trans and gender-diverse issues, and related stressors.

Her practice covers short-term and longer-term work. She lists a wide range of concerns she helps people with, including trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, eating and sleep difficulties, bipolar and depression, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. The emphasis is on talking through feelings and finding practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges.

Approaches you may meet and how online work fits

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current feelings and reactions; it can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and intimate relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on how the individual experiences their world, offering a non-directive way to talk through problems and decide on next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name their emotions and the interaction patterns that keep difficulties in place, which can be useful for relationship and grief issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will try ways of working that fit your needs. This is a collaborative decision and can change as the work progresses.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy schedules. It can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, remove the need to travel to appointments, and help maintain continuity when routines change. Check the available session options during the booking steps so you know how sessions will be run.
