About Tess

Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor who focuses on helping people feel more present and connected in their lives. She works in the United Kingdom and brings three years of experience to sessions. Tess aims to create a welcoming space where clients can be themselves and talk about what matters to them.

Her approach centres on listening and collaboration. Tess encourages people to notice how they feel in their bodies and to find ways to feel more grounded. She often supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns and coping with life changes.

Tess also offers help around trauma and abuse, and supports people from LGBT communities. Additional areas she works with include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She is familiar with topics related to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and can discuss these without judgement.

Sessions are shaped by the person in the room. Tess uses Person-Centred Therapy to follow each client’s priorities and pace. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness, reduce isolation and strengthen everyday coping skills.

To start, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows according to therapist availability and the subscription model in use, which can be cancelled at any time.

How Person-Centred work supports online therapy

Person-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without directing the outcome and helps clients discover their own answers. This approach suits issues like anxiety, stress, self-esteem and life transitions where exploring feelings and values matters.

Tess emphasises grounding and embodiment alongside Person-Centred work. That means sessions may include simple check-ins about how a person is feeling in their body and practical ideas to feel more present. This can be useful for people coping with trauma, dissociation or strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tess will work collaboratively to identify what fits best with a client’s needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the pace and focus as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy work and life schedule, reduce travel time and allow people to join from familiar surroundings. It can also make short check-ins possible when time is limited or quieter surroundings are needed rather than a long commute.
