Tess Lambourne

Tess Lambourne (she/her) trained as a Person-Centred therapist and holds NCPS credentialing. She brings three years of clinical experience and a background as a yoga teacher to her counselling. Tess aims to offer a calm, accepting space where people can be themselves and talk about what matters to them.

Tess focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems and feelings of emptiness. Tess pays attention to how relationships and personal history shape current struggles.

In sessions she uses a Person-Centred approach. That means she listens closely, follows the client’s pace, and reflects what she hears rather than directing the conversation. The work often focuses on building stronger self-understanding and a clearer sense of values and choices.

Her yoga teaching background informs practical grounding tools that some people find helpful for managing overwhelm and staying present. Sessions can include simple breathing or embodiment prompts when that matches a person’s needs.

Tess works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. She does not accept international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How a person-centred approach works online

Client-Centred or Person-Centred Therapy focuses on offering an accepting, non-judgemental space. The counsellor reflects what a person says and follows their pace to build understanding. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship-related concerns by strengthening a person’s sense of self and choice.

Tess’s background in yoga means she sometimes brings simple grounding or breathing prompts into sessions when that suits a person. These practices are used to help people feel more present and manage moments of overwhelm rather than as a separate therapy.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Tess will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the approach over time based on what works for the individual.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let a person choose sessions that match energy levels on a given day, for example a phone check-in when they do not want to be on camera.
