About Tess
Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor trained in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach so people can talk openly about what matters to them. Tess aims to help clients feel more present, connected and able to make choices that match their values and goals.
She offers a calm space where people can explore stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns and coping with life changes. Tess also supports people exploring identity and LGBT-related issues.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients find their own next steps. Tess brings three years of professional experience to her practice and describes herself as someone who values grounded, embodied work. She also has training as a yoga teacher, and she sometimes uses breath and grounding ideas to complement conversations in session.
These are offered as options rather than fixed techniques. People who prefer a gentle, accepting style may find her approach helpful. Tess encourages practical exploration of feelings and patterns, such as attachment or control issues, codependency and difficulties with trust or intimacy.
She aims to help clients leave sessions with clearer thinking and a greater sense of agency. Sessions are offered online by video or phone, and through live chat or text-based messaging. Tess works with each person to decide how to structure sessions so they fit around life and current needs.
Person-Centred care and online options
Tess practises Person-Centred Therapy, which means the session is led by the client and shaped by what they most need. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears and supports people to find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, self-esteem and identity concerns where being heard matters most.She may also draw on simple grounding and breath-based ideas from her yoga background to help people feel more present in the moment. These are offered as straightforward practices to try between sessions when someone wants practical ways to manage racing thoughts or overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tess works with each person to agree what to focus on and which methods to use, adjusting as needs and goals change. She aims to create a plan that fits the client rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy here is flexible and built for everyday life. Video calls are useful for full conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
