Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be themselves and talk about what matters most. Tess aims to help clients feel more connected to their feelings and choices.

Tess focuses on everyday struggles such as stress and anxiety, and on identity-related concerns including LGBT issues. She also supports people processing trauma and abuse, and those working on self-esteem or coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Her practice pays attention to how past relationships influence present patterns, including attachment and abandonment wounds. In sessions Tess listens closely and follows the person in front of her rather than imposing a set plan. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with an emphasis on being present, grounded, and embodied.

She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to build a stronger sense of wellbeing. Her background also includes yoga teaching, which informs a gentle focus on the body and breath as part of emotional work. Tess is registered with NCPS, which appears as NCPS in her credentials.

Tess offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Client-Centred care and online access

Client-Centred Therapy is at the heart of Tess's approach. It means the session is shaped around the person's experience, with the therapist listening closely and responding without judgement. This style helps when someone wants to feel heard, understand their emotions, and make choices that fit their values.

Tess also brings an embodied perspective influenced by her yoga teaching. That can mean simple attention to breath, posture and bodily sensations alongside talking work to help people feel more present and grounded. This combination can be useful for stress, anxiety, dissociation, and reconnecting to the self after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. Tess will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then adapt sessions as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to suit each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for fuller conversations and verbal cues, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, study or travel while keeping continuity of care with a single counsellor.
