About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 18 years of practice. She offers person-centred counselling and works with adults on a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, relationship and identity issues. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and has experience supporting LGBT clients.
Cecile keeps sessions to 50 minutes, usually on the same day and time each week. She offers both short-term and longer-term work and can agree changes for shift workers in advance. She asks clients to pick the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Her method places the person at the centre of sessions. Conversations focus on what a person can do next rather than labels. She aims to help people talk through emotions, gain clarity and find practical steps for immediate problems.
Across her career Cecile has run a voluntary youth counselling service for 11 to 25 year olds and has supported clients via the Black Trans Foundation and the Gendered Intelligence therapist directory. That history informs her work with identity, gender and related stresses, while also shaping her approach to grief, trauma and attachment concerns.
Typical issues she lists include trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting and blended family concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and everyday strains like sleep and eating problems. Her background also notes focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues and autism spectrum concerns, which she will address within a person-centred framework.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cecile commonly draws on person-centred and attachment-based ideas alongside emotionally-focused work. Person-centred counselling means sessions concentrate on the individual's experience and practical next steps rather than diagnostic labels. It helps people who want a conversational, client-led space to sort feelings and options. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect current bonds. It can be useful for people dealing with trust, separation, loyalty conflicts or blended family tensions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with difficult emotions and use that clarity to change how they respond in relationships. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and current problems and together decide what methods to try. This stays collaborative and may change as sessions progress. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking by using the online therapy options button. The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options for people who cannot travel to an office. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt attachment and emotionally-focused exercises for virtual sessions so people in blended households can work through co-parenting dynamics, loyalty conflicts or stepfamily routines from their usual environment.Areas of expertise
