About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of experience who offers person-centred support to people across the life span. She aims to provide a calm space where clients can speak openly and be heard without judgement. Cecile focuses on practical ways to help people make sense of their feelings and move toward their goals.
Her sessions put the client at the centre and are shaped around individual needs. Cecile offers both short-term work and longer-term therapy, with most sessions running for 50 minutes at a regular day and time each week.
Background and approach
She is able to accommodate shift-workers and will agree changes to session times in advance. Over the years she set up and managed a voluntary youth counselling service that supported people aged 11 to 25. That work gave her a lot of experience helping young people find relief from distress and build coping skills.
More recently she has supported members of the LGBT community through work with the Black Trans Foundation and via the Gendered Intelligence directory. Cecile uses approaches that include attachment-based ideas, emotion-focused work, mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside a client-centred stance. She adapts these methods to each person’s situation and preferences.
Sessions aim to help clients understand feelings, improve relationships, and manage stress, anxiety, sleep and mood concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.

How Cecile works online
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In digital sessions the therapist offers empathic, non-directive support so clients can talk through what matters most to them and decide next steps at their own pace.
Emotionally-focused ideas concentrate on identifying and shifting strong emotional responses that keep problems stuck. This can be useful for anxiety, grief, relationship struggles and low self-esteem when clients want to work through intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review what helps and adapt the plan over time to keep things useful.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. The therapist’s biography does not list specific formats here, so check whether video, phone or other arrangements are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so counselling fits into a busy week.
