About Ylenia

Ylenia Ceccarelli is a relationship counsellor who works with individuals and couples to improve communication and rebuild connection. She blends a systemic outlook with emotionally focused and client-centred ideas to help people notice patterns and respond differently in relationships. She trained in Psychosocial Studies and Principles of Psychodynamic Counselling, then completed a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling.

The diploma is CPCAB-accredited. Ylenia also holds membership of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression and problems with intimacy. She helps people manage life changes, rebuild trust after betrayal, and tackle recurring conflicts. Ylenia also supports issues around self-esteem, body image and the emotional effects of immigration.

Additionally she offers focused help for attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and fatherhood issues, autism and Asperger syndrome related matters, and communication or control problems. She uses approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and systemic techniques to map how people influence one another in relationships.

Originally from Lazio, Italy, she moved to the United Kingdom ten years ago and speaks English and Italian. Her background includes voluntary work with Samaritans and ongoing professional development through CPD and conference attendance. Sessions follow a tailored plan that reflects each person’s goals.

Ylenia aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through emotions, try new ways of relating, and build clearer communication skills.

Online support

How systemic and attachment approaches work online

Systemic work looks at the patterns between people and how those patterns keep problems going. Online sessions let the therapist and client map interactions, notice recurring cycles and practise different responses in real time. This approach can help when communication keeps looping into the same hurtful places.

Attachment-based work focuses on emotions and connection. It helps people understand how early bonds shape current relationship needs and reactions. The therapist uses this perspective to support rebuilding trust, improving intimacy and reducing anxiety about closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest whether systemic, attachment-based or client-centred work feels most useful. This is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, reflective work or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
