About Tess
Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential. Tess works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns and coping with big life changes. She also lists additional focus areas such as codependency, attachment and issues around BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture.
Tess aims to create sessions where clients can speak openly and be themselves. She listens for the things that matter to each person and follows their pace. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what the client brings on the day.
Work with her often focuses on helping people feel more connected to themselves and to others. That can mean talking through patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling overwhelmed by someone else’s moods. Tess pays attention to how those patterns affect daily life and relationships.
She uses Person-Centred methods to support self-awareness and presence. The approach prioritises the client's perspective and encourages noticing feelings, bodily experience and personal values. Practical discussion and reflection are used rather than technical labels.
People who come to Tess may explore boundaries, communication problems, jealousy, loneliness, forgiveness and questions about life purpose. Sessions also address shame, guilt, dissociation and impulsivity when these come up. If someone wants to begin, they follow the service's booking steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Person-Centred work online and how it helps
Person-Centred Therapy is a way of working that places the client's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without steering the conversation, reflects what the client says and helps the person notice their own feelings and choices. This approach can help when someone wants to understand patterns like people-pleasing or difficulty saying no.Alongside Person-Centred work, sessions may include practical discussion about boundaries, communication and coping strategies. That means talking through real situations and trying small steps to change how you respond to others. It is suitable for stress, anxiety, issues around shame or codependency and for people seeking clearer self-understanding.
Deciding which way of working fits best is part of the process and will be collaborative. The counsellor will ask about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt how sessions proceed. Clients are involved in choosing what to focus on and how to try new approaches between meetings.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm what is offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the counsellor to find a setup that fits daily life and commitments.
