About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of experience offering person-centred care. She provides straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. Sessions focus on listening and helping clients find practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties.
Cecile keeps sessions simple and client-led. She encourages people to speak in the way that feels right for them and helps them make sense of their emotions. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity about next steps.
Background and approach
Her background includes setting up and running a voluntary youth counselling service for people aged 11 to 25. That work shaped her practical approach to supporting people who are struggling with distress and needing immediate relief. She has also worked alongside community groups to support marginalised people.
She has supported the LGBT community through work with The Black Trans Foundation and is listed on the Gendered Intelligence directory of counsellors. She completed a two-day course on working with trans, gender-diverse and questioning people and continues to develop this area of practice. Appointments are 50 minutes and can be short-term or longer-term depending on needs.
Sessions can be adapted for shift-workers when rota changes occur, with adjustments agreed in advance. Cecile uses a person-centred style that focuses on what clients can do next rather than on a label. People who want a calm, pragmatic listener who will help them untangle worries and plan small changes may find her approach helpful.
She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions; online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people name and process emotions while feeling heard. Emotionally-focused work helps people identify core emotions and move towards healing, which can be explored through conversational online sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then together try methods that suit the person's needs. Sessions may adapt over time as priorities and circumstances change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions suit those with low bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins or shorter, more flexible contacts possible. These options can help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and ongoing.
