Cecile Terrelonge, BACP

Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of experience. She offers person-centred work that focuses on what each person can do next. Her practice aims to help people talk through stressful times and life transitions, including midlife concerns, in a calm, non-judgemental way.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Meetings are 50 minutes and usually on the same day and time each week. Short-term and longer-term plans are both possible, and arrangements for shift-workers can be discussed and agreed in advance.

Cecile uses a person-centred foundation alongside approaches that look at relationships and emotions. She helps people explore attachment patterns, emotional responses and what matters most to them. That can include work on anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, identity and relationship struggles.

Her background includes running a voluntary youth counselling service for 11 to 25 year olds and supporting LGBTQ+ people via The Black Trans Foundation. She is listed on the Gendered Intelligence directory after completing a two-day course on working alongside trans, gender diverse and questioning people.

Sessions are tailored to individual needs. Cecile encourages practical steps, tools and compassionate reflection so people can manage day-to-day life more easily and make clearer choices about their next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how early connections shape current reactions and supports exploring safer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions and emphasises listening, acceptance and helping clients find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks directly at feelings in relationships and can help people improve communication and emotional bonds.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, preferences and the issues that matter most. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions lean more towards emotional processing, practical steps, or reflective listening.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Many people find it simpler to attend without commuting and to schedule sessions around work or caring duties. Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and may vary. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online work to offer continuity and flexibility while helping clients progress with everyday problems and life changes.
