Tess Lambourne

Tess Lambourne is a counsellor who practises person-centred therapy and brings three years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be themselves and talk about what matters. Tess uses straightforward, human-centred ways of working rather than jargon-heavy approaches.

Her sessions focus on helping people reconnect with their sense of self. She aims to help clients feel more present, grounded and embodied after meetings. Many people come to Tess with stress, anxiety, issues around self-esteem, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Tess also supports people navigating relationship challenges and complex feelings. Areas she commonly works with include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, jealousy and communication problems. She has particular experience discussing BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture in an open way.

Loneliness and isolation are among the concerns Tess lists; she helps people who feel disconnected to explore those emotions and build more connection in their lives. She also works with people coping with life changes, questions about life purpose, and difficult emotions such as guilt and shame.

Tess trained as a Person-Centred counsellor and holds the NCPS credential. She offers sessions in English and practises from the United Kingdom.

How Tess Uses Person-Centred Work Online

Tess practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the client's experience and helping them feel heard. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and offers steady presence. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, self-esteem and feelings of emptiness.

The person-centred style supports work on attachment and relationship concerns by creating space to speak openly about difficult feelings. For issues such as trauma, shame or isolation, the emphasis is on building a stronger sense of self and connection rather than on directive techniques.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Tess will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will choose how best to proceed. The therapist aims to be collaborative and to adapt sessions to what a client needs in practice.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and making it easier to have more regular check-ins. Online work can also allow shorter sessions or telephone-only options where needed, but please check available formats when you schedule.
