About Tess
Tess Lambourne is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with three years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, self esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to help people feel more connected with themselves and others.
Tess practises client-centred therapy. That means she focuses on listening and helping each person find their own answers. Conversations are intended to increase presence, reduce overwhelm and support clearer decision making. Tess also mentions a background in yoga teaching, which informs a practical interest in body awareness and grounding techniques.
She has worked with people from a range of backgrounds and identities. Typical topics include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, control issues, dissociation and feelings of emptiness. Tess also supports discussions around BDSM, kink and alternative sex cultures where this is relevant to a person's concerns.
Sessions may cover guilt and shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, isolation, jealousy and questions about life purpose. Tess aims to help people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes between meetings. She encourages straightforward, honest conversation about what is and is not working for each person.

Client-centred approaches and online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than on techniques. The counsellor listens without directing and supports people to find their own answers. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, low self esteem and recovering from abuse because it centres the person's experience and pace.Tess also brings attention to body awareness from her yoga background. That can mean noticing breath and posture, and using simple grounding practices in sessions. These practices can help when dissociation, overwhelm or physical tension are part of the concern.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with a person about what feels most useful and adjust the way they work as therapy progresses. That is a collaborative process based on needs, goals and personal preference.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to offer more flexible scheduling and to meet people where their day allows.
