About Cecile

Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works in a person-centred way, helping people talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward. Sessions are offered in English and can be short-term or longer-term depending on what someone needs.

Her practice aims to make it easier to sort through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. Cecile listens without judgement and allows people to speak at their own pace.

Background and approach

She focuses on what a person can do next rather than on labels or diagnoses. Over her career Cecile set up and managed a voluntary youth counselling service, supporting 11 to 25 year olds. More recently she has worked with LGBTQ+ communities and supported clients via the Black Trans Foundation and Gendered Intelligence directory.

She continues to develop this work and describes herself as an ally. Cecile uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on trauma-focused ideas, attachment-based work, emotionally-focused methods, mindfulness and client-centred listening.

Sessions usually last 50 minutes and are scheduled for the same day and time each week when possible. She can offer video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging and can accommodate shift-workers with agreed changes to session times. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Cecile names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Cecile uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships affect present feelings and patterns. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness and repeated relational reactions in everyday life.

She also uses client-centred counselling which means sessions follow the person’s pace. The therapist listens, reflects and helps clients find their own solutions rather than imposing a plan.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) features in her work too and focuses on identifying and shifting strong emotions that maintain relationship and personal distress. EFT can be useful for people who want clearer emotional understanding and different ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cecile works collaboratively to decide what fits best based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She will suggest options and adjust methods as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
