Tess Lambourne is a person-centred counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgmental space for people to talk through what matters to them.
About Tess
Tess Lambourne is a person-centred counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgmental space for people to talk through what matters to them. She uses a warm, accepting approach that helps people feel heard and understood. Tess holds the NCPS credential, which is listed as NCPS in her profile.
Tess aims to help people notice their feelings and build a clearer sense of self. Sessions focus on being present, feeling more grounded and finding ways to cope with day-to-day stress.
Background and approach
She takes a patient, listening-first stance rather than directing every step. People come to Tess for many reasons, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and navigating life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, emptiness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Tess supports clients exploring BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture with understanding and without judgement. Her practical style centres on what the person brings to the room. Conversations can help identify patterns, test small changes, and build coping tools that fit daily life.
Tess encourages people to move at their own pace and to notice small shifts between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Tess works from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients at this time.

Approaches Tess lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Tess will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the pace and focus accordingly. Together they decide which ways of working feel most helpful, reviewing progress as they go.
Online sessions let people access counselling in flexible ways. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides shorter typed check-ins, and text-based messaging suits ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping sessions consistent and practical.
