About Tess

Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor (NCPS) with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes, and lists life purpose among her focus areas. Sessions are delivered in English and she does not take international clients. Tess keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens and reflects to help people notice what matters to them. People commonly bring worries about relationships, commitment, loneliness or struggles with identity and sexuality including LGBT and kink-related issues. She offers space to talk through strong emotions like guilt, shame, abandonment and emptiness. Practical everyday problems such as communication breakdowns, control issues and impulsivity also feature in her work. Tess pays attention to how dissociation or attachment difficulties can affect a person's day-to-day coping. Tess also supports people questioning their next steps in life. That can look like talking through career doubts, feeling stuck after a change, or wanting a clearer sense of purpose. Sessions aim to help people feel more present and connected to themselves without pushing a specific outcome. To begin, clients use the site to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Practical questions about current session formats should be confirmed before booking.

How Tess uses Person-Centred work online

Tess practises Person-Centred Therapy which centres on listening, reflecting and following what the client brings. This approach helps when people feel unsure about next steps, struggle with self-worth, or want to talk through relationship and identity concerns. It focuses on building understanding together rather than directing decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tess will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to a person's needs, goals and preferences. That means deciding together whether to focus on emotional processing, practical communication skills, or exploring values and life purpose.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family time, avoid travel and choose a quieter moment to talk. Different formats also suit different needs - for example, a shorter phone check-in can be useful for brief updates, while a video session can support more in-depth conversation when visual connection helps. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of ways to work; discuss practical arrangements when you book to find what fits your routine and goals.
