About Tess
Tess Lambourne is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, and life changes. Tess uses a person-centred approach and offers a straightforward way of working.
Her style is conversational and unhurried. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now. Tess listens to how people describe their problems and follows their lead when setting goals and next steps.
She often helps with attachment and abandonment concerns. Other areas she addresses include codependency, jealousy, control issues, dissociation and feelings of emptiness. Tess also supports people exploring BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and those wrestling with guilt, shame or forgiveness.
In practical terms Tess encourages attention to the body and presence. Her background as a trained yoga teacher informs simple breath and grounding practices used in sessions when helpful. These are offered as tools clients can try between meetings rather than as formal exercises.
Tess works with people who want clearer communication and better coping skills. People who prefer calm, steady conversation and practical steps often find this way of working useful. To begin she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

These are short, practical tools to help with feelings of anxiety, dissociation or emptying. They are offered as optional exercises to try between meetings rather than formal physical training.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tess will work with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to be collaborative and will adjust how sessions run based on what the person finds helpful.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also let a person choose not to use video if that feels easier while still taking part in focused therapeutic conversation.
