About Ylenia
Ylenia Ceccarelli is a counsellor who uses Narrative and attachment-informed approaches to help people untangle relationship and life stresses. She works in English and Italian and brings three years of practice to sessions. Her style is warm and direct, focusing on clear steps people can try between meetings.
She helps with anxiety, low mood and daily stress. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy difficulties, trust problems, and the fallout of separation or infidelity.
Background and approach
Parenting and family issues are covered when they affect an individual’s wellbeing. Ylenia draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to notice how early patterns influence current bonds, and Client-Centred work to keep the client’s experience central.
Sessions are practical and rooted in everyday change rather than abstract theory. Originally from Lazio, Italy, she has lived in the United Kingdom for a decade. Her background includes a degree in Psychosocial Studies and training in relationship counselling at Level 5.
She has experience volunteering in emotional support roles, which informs her approachable manner. Sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Ylenia aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through feelings, explore patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Ylenia directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and Attachment ideas work online
Ylenia often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from limiting stories about their lives. Sessions aim to identify these stories, try out alternative explanations and choose different ways of acting in relationships. This approach can help with low mood, identity questions and repeating relationship patterns.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current reactions to closeness and conflict. That work helps people understand why they respond in certain ways and experiment with new patterns of relating. Client-Centred elements keep the focus on the client’s experience, pace and choices throughout the process.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences. That might mean blending techniques or trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins and reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
