About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years' experience who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the person at the heart of each session. Cecile aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and feel heard without judgement. She offers 50-minute sessions usually at the same day and time each week, and can accommodate changes for shift-workers when agreed in advance.
Her background includes setting up and managing a voluntary youth counselling service for 11 to 25 year olds. She has also supported the LGBTQ+ community through work with The Black Trans Foundation and the Gendered Intelligence therapist directory. Cecile completed a two-day course with Gendered Intelligence about working alongside trans, gender diverse and questioning people and continues to develop this area of practice.
In sessions she focuses on what a person can do next rather than labels. She adapts counselling to short-term goals or longer-term work depending on the person’s needs. Typical issues she helps with include stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, addiction and grief, as well as identity and attachment-related difficulties.
People who choose her often want a straightforward, listening-centred approach. She uses person-centred principles alongside approaches such as attachment-based work, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness. This allows conversations to stay practical and grounded while also exploring emotions and patterns that matter.
Cecile works in the United Kingdom and offers online and telephone options alongside face-to-face sessions. Sessions are run on a weekly schedule and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Cecile uses person-centred work alongside attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused therapy. Person-centred counselling means the session is led by the person's concerns and pace, helping them find their own solutions and make sense of feelings. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current responses; it can help with relationship strain, abandonment and attachment issues. Emotionally-focused work helps people name and sit with strong feelings so they can change unhelpful interaction patterns and feel more connected to themselves and others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cecile will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful in early sessions. She aims to agree a way of working that fits the person's needs and can adapt methods as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
Confirm the exact online or telephone session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into daily life because they avoid travel, can be taken during a work break, or suit quieter surroundings. Telephone sessions can be helpful when someone prefers not to use video, and online sessions can allow ongoing weekly contact when in-person meetings are difficult. Registered and accredited professionals can offer these formats, but check the available options for this therapist before you schedule.
