Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom.

About Tess

Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She uses a calm, accepting style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Tess aims to create a straightforward space where people can be honest about what they feel and need.

She focuses on helping people feel more grounded and connected to themselves. Tess encourages practical steps to become more present and better able to cope with life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions look at everyday struggles such as isolation, guilt and relationship patterns in clear, simple language. Her background includes three years of professional practice and registration with NCPS. Tess also has training as a yoga teacher and brings an awareness of body and breath into the work when that feels helpful.

She avoids jargon and explains things plainly so clients know what to expect. People who come to Tess often want help with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, or navigating alternative sexual cultures like kink and BDSM. She also supports people facing dissociation, shame, impulsivity and questions about life purpose.

The focus is on each person's needs rather than a fixed agenda. Tess runs sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. To start, a short questionnaire helps match needs to session options, then appointments are booked according to availability.

Ways of working Tess names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Person-Centred work translates to online therapy

Tess uses Person-Centred Therapy, which means the focus is on listening closely and responding to what each person says. This approach helps people who are anxious, overwhelmed or recovering from trauma to feel heard and to make sense of their own experience.

She also draws on body-awareness from her yoga training when that is helpful, inviting gentle attention to breath, posture or sensations. That can support grounding and present-moment awareness during sessions where dissociation or overwhelm is an issue.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Tess will discuss options with you and adapt how she works to your goals and preferences. Together you will try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online work is practical and flexible. Video calls let you read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
