Tess Lambourne

Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works to create a space where people can bring their whole selves. Tess aims for clients to leave feeling more connected and more able to make choices that suit them.

She uses a gentle, client-led way of working that focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions tend to emphasise being present, building self-awareness, and noticing how thoughts and feelings show up in the body. Tess also draws on her background as a trained yoga teacher to encourage grounding and embodied coping strategies when these are helpful.

Tess regularly supports people who are managing stress and anxiety, those facing life changes, and people dealing with trauma and abuse. She also works with issues around self-esteem and explores concerns linked to identity and LGBT experiences. Tess pays close attention to attachment, abandonment and patterns such as codependency or difficulties with commitment and control.

Other areas she can help with include low mood, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, shame and guilt, impulsivity, jealousy, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She is open to conversations about kink, BDSM and alternative sex culture and how these relate to relationships and wellbeing.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Person‑Centred Care and Online Support

Person‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client’s priorities and helps them explore feelings, values and choices at a comfortable pace. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, relationship questions and building a stronger sense of self.

Using embodied practices alongside conversation, such as grounding and breath awareness drawn from Tess’s yoga background, can help people feel more present in sessions. These ideas are offered as tools clients can try between meetings to support daily coping and regulation.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Tess will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adjust the approach over time. That means the focus may shift from emotional processing to practical coping skills, or to exploring identity and values, depending on what helps most.

The therapist’s profile does not specify which online or in‑person formats are used. Before booking, confirm the available session formats and practical details. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check‑in meetings and offer options for working without video when needed.
