About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works in a person-centred way and focuses on helping people find clarity and practical steps forward. Sessions aim to put the client at the centre and explore what can be done, not what is wrong.
She describes counselling as a place to speak honestly and be heard without judgement. Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy matters, addiction, grief and low self-esteem.
How Cecile works
She also works with issues such as parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and career-related stress. Additional focus areas listed include attachment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, care-giver stress, dissociation and ADHD. Cecile uses approaches that are collaborative and focused on the person in front of her.
Her methods include attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. These are used to help people understand patterns, manage difficult feelings, and try small changes that build confidence. Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and are normally 50 minutes long.
She can offer both short-term and longer-term work and aims to keep sessions on a regular day and time each week when possible. Sessions can be adapted for people who work shifts by agreeing changes in advance. Cecile holds BACP registration which is listed as a professional credential.

Online support options
How approaches like attachment work online
Attachment-based work looks at the ways relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns in how they connect with others and practise new responses to reduce anxiety and fear around relationships.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions to change unhelpful interaction patterns. It helps people name feelings, trace what triggers them and experiment with new ways of responding to improve closeness and emotional regulation.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to manage stress and emotional overwhelm. Brief practices and grounding techniques are used to help people notice thoughts and sensations and reduce reactivity in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the counsellor works together with each person to decide what fits best. Goals, preferences and how someone responds to early sessions guide which methods are used, and plans are adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, live chat offers shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
