The support and understanding I have received with Cecile is beyond appreciated. During our weekly sessions and messages in between, she is always helpful, patient and non judgemental of any situation. If you have any reservations about seeking help, I would strongly recommend Cecile. It's less like therapy and more like talking to a caring friend. You feel safe and listened to.

Cecile is amazing. She always offers me a listening ear, provides me with the tools I need to cope with events in my life and has helped me to understand more about myself. I feel much more equipped to cope with day to day life. Starting therapy can be nerve wracking but Cecile makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed, like talking to an old friend.

About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified counsellor with over 18 years’ experience, offering person centred counselling to children, young people and adults. Counselling offers you the support system that allows you to speak in whatever way you need to in order to find healing and I provide a safe space to be able to speak your truth without being interrupted, judged or dismissed.
Counselling can help everyone to improve their daily lives. It can be hard sifting through your emotions on your own, so having that person there who will support you, to understand your feelings and gain some clarity around your emotions and feelings can help you and the process.
Deciding to see a counsellor is itself an act of bravery as it can be difficult to talk to strangers about your struggles especially if you feel as though they are unimportant in the larger scheme of life.
My approach is Person Centred, placing you at the centre of the sessions. We will look at what you can do, not your condition and supporting you to achieve your aspirations with the therapy being tailored to your needs and unique circumstances.
My experience is extensive and during my counselling career I have set up and managed a voluntary youth counselling service supporting 11yr olds to 25yr olds. Working with young people to find relief from problems and distress and to help promote the well being of those seeking help.
Most recently I have also been supporting the LGBTQ+ community via The Black Trans Foundation and I am on the Gendered Intelligence directory of counsellors. I completed a 2-day counsellor/therapist course: Working alongside Trans, Gender Diverse and Questioning People through the Gendered Intelligence training programme. I am on their therapist directory and have supported several clients via this pathway. I am continuing to develop my work in this area, and I am a dedicated ally to this community. Having strong personal ties through my friendship groups and being involved in various activities. I have seen over the years the difficulty faced by black people and trans people, particularly the black trans community, and it is because of this I have had the pleasure in supporting The Black Trans Foundation and those who are accessing this therapy.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
