About Ylenia

Ylenia Ceccarelli is a counsellor who draws on Existential therapy to help people make sense of difficult feelings and relational patterns. She speaks English and Italian and brings three years of professional experience to conversations about intimacy, trust and stress. Ylenia aims to create an accepting space where people can speak frankly about what matters most to them.

Her background includes a degree in Psychosocial Studies and study of psychodynamic counselling principles.

Background and approach

She trained with a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling delivered by a CPCAB-accredited programme and worked as a Samaritans volunteer leader, gaining frontline experience in emotional support. In sessions she focuses on practical changes in how people relate to each other. That includes improving communication, rebuilding trust after betrayal, and breaking repetitive conflict cycles.

She also supports people dealing with life transitions like separation, parenthood or relocation, and helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and feelings of emptiness. Ylenia blends emotionally-focused ideas with attachment-based thinking and client-led work. That means she pays attention to emotions, patterns from earlier relationships, and the goals a person brings into therapy.

Sessions are tailored to what each person wants to change or understand. She works with relationship and intimacy-related concerns as well as family and parenting challenges, and also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and immigration-related stress. Her NCPS credential is listed as NCPS.

Therapy is offered in the United Kingdom and in English or Italian.

Online support

How Existential and Attachment Ideas Work Online

Existential therapy helps people look at values, meaning and the choices they face. It can be useful when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone is stuck in repeating patterns. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication. It is helpful for trust issues, intimacy problems and difficulty managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. Sessions are tailored together, so the methods used may shift as needs and priorities become clearer.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing to talking. These options give flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and practical constraints.
