About me
Hi, I’m Ylenia, a Relationship Counsellor dedicated to helping couples strengthen their connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges together.
As an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), I uphold the highest professional standards in my practice. Originally from Lazio, Italy, I moved to the UK 10 years ago to pursue my passion for relationship counselling.
My journey began with a degree in Psychosocial Studies and Principles of Psychodynamic Counselling in 2022. Alongside my studies, I volunteered as a leader for Samaritans, providing a compassionate space for those in need. Wanting to specialise further in couples therapy, I completed a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling, accredited by CPCAB and trained by Relate, the UK’s leading relationship support organisation.
I work exclusively with couples at all stages of their relationship, whether you are:
✔ Struggling with communication breakdowns
✔ Trying to rebuild trust after a breach or betrayal
✔ Caught in recurring conflicts that seem impossible to resolve
✔ Navigating major life transitions such as parenthood, relocation, or separation decisions
✔ Seeking to deepen emotional and physical intimacy
I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with systemic approaches, helping you and your partner understand underlying emotional patterns, shift negative cycles, and create a stronger, more fulfilling connection. My approach is tailored to your unique dynamic, never a one-size-fits-all solution.
Fluent in both English and Italian, I strive to make therapy inclusive, accessible, and culturally sensitive. I also stay up to date with the latest therapeutic practices through CPD training and BACP conferences, ensuring I provide the most effective support possible.
Confidentiality, empathy, and a safe, judgment-free space are at the heart of my work.
I have also recently launched an Instagram channel, 'Ylenia Therapy', where I share insights and practical tips on building stronger relationships, improving communication, and fostering emotional well-being.

I look forward to supporting you and your partner on your journey toward a stronger, healthier relationship.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ylenia Ceccarelli. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
We just started with Ylenia, but are looking forward to continuing with her. She listens, interprets and gives us the space and perspective that we need. Thank you Ylenia!
