Tess Lambourne, NCPS

Tess Lambourne is a Person-Centred counsellor who creates a calm, accepting space for people to be themselves. She uses a warm, attentive style to help clients feel more connected and grounded after sessions. Tess holds NCPS credentials and works with people facing a range of emotional challenges.

She commonly helps with stress and anxiety, and supports people navigating trauma, low self-esteem and major life changes. Tess also works with LGBT concerns and a number of related issues such as abandonment, attachment questions, codependency and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions focus on listening and responding to what each person brings. Tess aims to help people feel present in their bodies and more able to make choices that reflect their needs. Conversations may include exploring relationship patterns, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, impulsivity and jealousy.

Her practice also addresses concerns connected to kink and alternative sex culture, dissociation, forgiveness work and finding life purpose. The emphasis is on understanding each person's experience rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Tess has three years of professional experience. She works in English from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Person-Centred work and online therapy

Tess practises Person-Centred Therapy, which centres on understanding each person's experience and building rapport through respectful, non-directive listening. This approach helps with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, trauma-related concerns and relationship patterns by allowing people to find their own clarity at their own pace.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Tess collaborates with each person to decide what feels best, adapting the pace and focus to match their needs, goals and preferences. This might mean spending time on grounding, on exploring attachment patterns, or on practical communication strategies depending on what the person brings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options 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 that suits a schedule. Some people find talking on video helps maintain connection, while others prefer formats that use less bandwidth or shorter sessions to fit around work and family life. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and focus to practical needs and everyday routines.
