About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a BACP counsellor with 18 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and offers talking therapy focused on what each person needs. Cecile aims to help parents and individuals who are carrying stress, grief, or relationship strain find clearer ways forward.
Her sessions centre on the person in front of her. She listens without judgement and helps clients name feelings and challenges. Conversations are practical and grounded, with the aim of finding steps that fit a client’s life and goals.
Background and approach
Cecile uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds affect present relationships. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change painful emotional patterns. Client-centred principles guide sessions so the pace and focus come from the client’s needs.
She has worked extensively with young people in voluntary services and has supported LGBTQ+ clients through community organisations. That background informs her approach to identity, belonging, and the stresses that can come with marginalisation. Sessions are available in a range of online formats and by phone, tailored to rhythm and routine.
Appointments are usually 50 minutes on a regular day and time, and Cecile can discuss adjustments when work rotas change.

How her approaches work online
Cecile combines a few gentle, practical approaches to help people get unstuck. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people understand patterns in parenting and partnership. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying core emotions in the moment and creating new ways of responding in relationships.She also uses client-centred methods which put the client’s needs and pace first. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful and doable for daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and tone while meeting from another room. Phone sessions are useful when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is lower. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, ongoing coaching-style notes, or daily check-ins between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats so sessions fit a client’s routine and commitments.
