About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of practice who offers person-centred work to people seeking support. She works from the United Kingdom and brings steady, practical listening to sessions. Her approach focuses on the person in front of her, not labels or diagnoses.
Sessions are usually 50 minutes and tend to happen at the same day and time each week. Cecile can offer short-term or longer-term work and can move appointments when required for shift-workers after agreement.
Background and approach
She has experience running a voluntary youth counselling service supporting people aged about 11 to 25. Her practice includes supporting members of the LGBT community, including work linked to the Black Trans Foundation and a Gendered Intelligence directory listing.
Cecile completed a two-day course called Working alongside Trans, Gender Diverse and Questioning People through the Gendered Intelligence training programme and continues to develop this area of her practice. Cecile uses person-centred principles to help people talk through what matters to them and to build clarity about feelings and choices.
She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak without interruption and explore what they can do next. Her style is straightforward and relational, focusing on listening and practical steps. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationships, grief, self-esteem, addiction and many long-term health and identity-related issues.
Sessions may include shorter plans or open-ended work depending on the person’s needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeated relationship conflicts to understand and change those patterns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and supports the client to find their own solutions and build self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what feels most helpful. That may mean starting with a person-centred stance and then bringing in attachment ideas to work on relationship patterns or emotional responses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and a usual weekly slot for deeper sessions. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, written reflections or shorter conversations between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to fit counselling around work, care duties and changing schedules.
