About Tess
Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, and the practical challenges that follow big life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Tess focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves after difficult events. She listens without judgement and encourages clients to notice what matters most to them. Conversations aim to increase presence, grounding and a clearer sense of inner direction rather than pushing a fixed plan.
Her approach suits people who feel stuck, unsure about next steps, or who want to make sense of relationship patterns such as attachment, abandonment or codependency. Tess also addresses issues related to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture when these are part of a client's concerns. She works with feelings of emptiness, shame, guilt, jealousy and isolation alongside practical communication and commitment difficulties.
Sessions usually involve reflective talking, gentle exploration of emotions, and attention to how the body is experienced in daily life. Tess draws on her background as a yoga teacher to help clients notice breathing and posture when relevant, but the core work remains conversational and client-led.
People considering work on life purpose, coping strategies or managing impulsivity will find the focus is on what the client says matters. Tess encourages small, manageable steps that fit everyday life and supports planning that respects each person's pace.
How her Client-Centred approach works online
Tess uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on active listening and reflecting back what the client says. This approach helps people clarify feelings about stress, relationships, life purpose and past hurts by making space to speak and be heard.She also brings practical attention to bodily experience when it matters. Drawing on her yoga teaching background, Tess may invite clients to notice breath or posture as part of understanding emotions and grounding during sessions. This can help with anxiety, dissociation and feeling more present in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tess will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt how sessions run accordingly. Clients work together with her to decide which techniques or focuses best support their needs.

Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
