About Ylenia

Ylenia Ceccarelli uses relationship-focused approaches to help people sort through emotional pain and improve how they connect with others. She combines emotion-focused work with attachment ideas to address trust, intimacy and communication. Ylenia speaks English and Italian and works from the United Kingdom.

Her practice centres on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem as these often affect relationships. She also helps with issues linked to identity and sexual orientation, immigration-related worries, and the aftermath of betrayal or separation.

Background and approach

Sessions cover both the feelings and the everyday patterns that keep problems repeating. Ylenia trained in psychosocial studies and psychodynamic counselling principles and completed a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling. She is a member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society - NCPS.

Her background also includes several years leading volunteer support work with the Samaritans. In sessions she listens for the patterns that shape emotional responses and relationship cycles. Conversations tend to focus on recognising unmet needs, naming emotions and trying small changes in how people relate.

She adapts what she offers to each person rather than using a single fixed method. Practical aims often include reducing anxiety, rebuilding trust after infidelity, managing life transitions, and improving intimacy and communication. Ylenia provides straightforward, calm guidance and works with people who want clearer feelings and healthier connections.

Online support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people relate and respond to closeness. It helps uncover why reactions like withdrawal or clinging happen and supports safer ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and then changing the patterns that drive conflict and distance. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, encouraging them to set the pace and topics in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together you will choose what fits your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video helps keep visual cues for emotional work, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for different schedules and ways of communicating while keeping the focus on emotional connection and practical change.
