About Tess

Person-Centred therapist (NCPS), three years' experience, specialising in stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem and coping with life changes. Tess Lambourne works in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. She trained as a Person‑Centred counsellor and also has training as a yoga teacher, which informs her approach to embodiment and presence.

Tess focuses on listening and working with what each person brings to sessions. She aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and to others. Conversations tend to emphasise noticing feelings, building awareness, and practising ways of being more present day to day.

Her approach is rooted in Client‑Centred Therapy. That means the sessions are shaped around the person’s concerns and pace. Tess uses straightforward reflection and open questions to help clarify thoughts and feelings rather than prescribing solutions.

She commonly supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, issues around kink and alternative sexual culture, and problems with jealousy, control or communication. Other themes she works with include dissociation, emptiness, guilt and shame, impulsivity and questions about life purpose.

Tess uses her yoga background to bring attention to the body when that helps a client feel more grounded. Practical exercises and short in‑session practices may be offered alongside talking. To begin, people follow the site matching steps and book a first session through the online scheduling flow.

Client‑Centred work and online sessions

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what is said, and helps the client name thoughts and feelings. This approach is commonly used for stress, anxiety, self‑esteem issues and recovery after trauma because it prioritises the person’s perspective and pace.

Where helpful, Tess brings embodiment practices from her yoga training into sessions. These are simple exercises to notice breath, posture and bodily sensations. They are used to support grounding, reduce dissociation and increase awareness rather than to replace talking work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tess will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful early on, and then adapt sessions accordingly. That means the method can shift over time as needs change, and decisions about techniques are made collaboratively.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote appointments to maintain continuity of care and to fit sessions around family and work commitments.
