About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with 18 years of experience. She offers person-centred counselling and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and identity issues. Sessions are 50 minutes and normally take place at the same day and time each week.
Cecile sets out to make sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and find more clarity about what matters to them. Her work covers short-term and longer-term therapy depending on what someone needs.
Her background includes running a voluntary youth counselling service for people aged 11 to 25. That work involved supporting young people to manage distress and improve daily functioning. She has also worked with community groups and supported people referred through charitable pathways.
Cecile has provided counselling support for members of the LGBTQ+ community and has completed a specific two-day training course on working alongside trans, gender diverse and questioning people through the Gendered Intelligence programme. She is listed on the Gendered Intelligence therapist directory and has supported clients via this pathway.
Sessions are arranged to suit shift-workers where needed, with changes agreed in advance. She offers online and telephone counselling as well as face-to-face sessions, and uses a subscription model for fees that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds. It helps when past relationship experiences affect current connections and responses to stress. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and on clear, respectful listening. It supports people who need time to find their own answers rather than being directed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and can help with intense feelings and connection issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend during a lunch break or between shifts. The biography lists online and telephone work alongside face-to-face sessions, but readers should confirm the current session formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a mix of methods so practical arrangements can be agreed to suit daily life.
