About Ylenia
Ylenia Ceccarelli uses relationship-focused approaches to help people improve connection and communication. She combines emotion-focused work with attachment ideas to support people who feel stuck, anxious, or uncertain in their relationships. She is introduced here as a counsellor who speaks English and Italian and practises in the United Kingdom.
Ylenia draws on client-centred principles to keep sessions straightforward and respectful. That means clients set the pace and topics while she listens and reflects back what matters.
How Ylenia works
She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong feelings that get in the way of closeness. Her work is suited to people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Relationship and intimacy concerns are a central focus, including trust, communication breakdowns and the aftermath of infidelity.
Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, immigration-related stresses, and blended family challenges. Ylenia holds NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society registration, and she has three years of practice experience. She began her training after moving to the UK from Lazio, Italy, and has experience offering emotional support in volunteer roles alongside formal counselling studies.
Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Ylenia aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where practical conversation and emotional understanding sit side by side.

Therapeutic approaches for online relationship work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and fear, and supports building safer ways of connecting in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own pace and priorities. The counsellor listens without directing, helping people clarify feelings and decide what matters to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and working with emotions that drive relationship patterns. It is useful for couples or individuals who want to change repeating cycles of distance and conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be a joint decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they will adapt methods so the work matches the person's situation and pace.
Online sessions provide practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussing emotions and interactional patterns. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use audio or video. These choices help therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
