Cecile Terrelonge, BACP

Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of experience offering person-centred work. She places the individual at the heart of each session and focuses on helping people find clarity and make changes that matter. Sessions are 50 minutes and typically happen at the same day and time each week. She provides both short-term and longer-term therapy and will agree changes for shift-workers in advance.

Cecile uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's goals and preferences central. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people speak honestly about what they are feeling. That straightforward support can make it easier to sort through emotions and decide on next steps.

Her background includes setting up and managing a voluntary youth counselling service supporting people aged 11 to 25. She has also supported the LGBT community through work with the Black Trans Foundation and appears on the Gendered Intelligence directory of counsellors after completing a two-day course offered by that organisation.

Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy problems, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and dissociation.

Cecile holds registration with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and sees clients in English. To begin, clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Cecile's approaches translate to online work

Cecile draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems. She also uses client-centred work which focuses on listening carefully and following the client's pace to make space for their own insights and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) influences her practice too by helping people name and shift strong emotions that get in the way of connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cecile will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and personal style. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses, with the counsellor adapting to what feels most helpful.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking since session options can vary. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Telephone sessions can be useful when video is difficult, while video lets people use visual cues during conversation. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent with the work and apply what they learn between sessions.
