About Tess

Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She creates a calm space where people can speak honestly and feel heard. Tess aims to help people leave sessions feeling more present and connected to themselves.

She uses Person-Centred Therapy to focus on each person's experience. Tess listens without judgement and follows what matters to the individual in the room. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and navigating big life changes.

Tess works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, and coping with transition. She also supports people facing feelings of abandonment, attachment difficulties, jealousy, and isolation. Tess will attend to the emotional and relational threads people bring into therapy.

In sessions she encourages practical steps alongside reflection. Conversations often include noticing how feelings show up in the body, trying new ways of speaking about difficult things, and experimenting with small changes in day-to-day life. The emphasis is on building a stronger sense of self and agency.

Tess holds the NCPS credential, which is shown here as NCPS. She also brings her background as a yoga teacher into work when it suits the person she is supporting. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

How Person-Centred work can translate to online counselling

Tess practises Person-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and following the person's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings, to work on self-esteem, or to navigate relationship concerns such as jealousy and attachment issues.

She also brings an embodied perspective from her yoga teaching background, noticing how feelings show up in the body and offering simple ways to reconnect with physical experience. That can help people who feel dissociated, empty, or disconnected from daily life.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will check in about needs, goals and preferences and adapt sessions accordingly. Together they decide what feels most useful and change course if another focus would be better.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to meet with the same counsellor from different locations within the therapist's practice area.
