About Ylenia
Ylenia Ceccarelli is a relationship counsellor who focuses on improving connection and easing relationship stress. She combines approaches that look at emotions and attachment to help people understand repeating patterns. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and delivered remotely in formats that suit the client.
Ylenia has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society credential. She trained in psychosocial studies and completed a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling.
Background and approach
Before qualifying she worked as a Samaritans volunteer leader, supporting people in distress and building listening skills she now brings into therapy. Her work often centres on everyday relationship problems such as communication difficulties, trust issues and recurring conflicts. She also supports people facing major life changes like separation, relocation or becoming a parent.
Depression, anxiety and low self-esteem are common concerns she helps people talk through. Ylenia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy combined with attachment-based ideas and systemic thinking. In practice that means identifying patterns, helping people notice emotions as they arise, and trying out new ways of responding to each other.
Sessions are tailored to an individual’s goals rather than following a fixed formula. Practical matters are straightforward: sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging and work around what fits a client’s life. She aims to be warm and direct, helping people build clearer communication and greater emotional connection.

Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name core emotions in the moment. It is useful for couples and individuals who want to break repeating cycles of blame and build stronger emotional connection.
The right approach is usually found together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Then she will suggest which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are good for seeing non-verbal cues and doing deeper couples work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who find typed communication easier. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to offer flexible, accessible support that fits different routines and needs.
