About Cecile
Cecile Terrelonge is a counsellor with 18 years of practice. She works using a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of the sessions. Cecile aims to offer a steady space where people can speak without judgement and begin to make sense of difficult feelings.

Cecile completed a two-day course called Working alongside Trans, Gender Diverse and Questioning People with Gendered Intelligence and continues to develop work in this area.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, chronic pain and illness, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting-related strain. She offers short-term work and longer-term therapy depending on what a person needs.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions in relationships. It helps people name feelings, understand where they come from, and try different responses to improve connection. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cecile will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made and new issues emerge.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions around work, caregiving and other life commitments. Online appointments can reduce travel time and make it easier to keep a weekly slot. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options with the service before booking to make sure they suit your routine and technology access.
