Background and approach
This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and life changes. Tess also supports people who identify as LGBT and those navigating attachment or relationship-related concerns. She can talk with clients about topics such as abandonment, communication problems, codependency, jealousy and commitment worries.
Tess is open to addressing aspects of alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink when clients bring these up. Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions aim to help clients notice how they feel in their body, build stronger self-awareness, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Tess draws on person-centred principles to keep the work focused on the client's goals. She works in English and does not take international clients. To start, people are invited to use the platform's matching steps and book according to the therapist's availability.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the counsellor follows the client's lead. It helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness and increase a sense of connection to themselves and others. This approach can suit concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma recovery and questions about identity.Alongside person-centred work, Tess draws on embodiment ideas influenced by her yoga background to help clients notice bodily sensations and grounding practices. These simple practices can support emotional regulation and help people feel more present in sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tess will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the way she works as the relationship develops.
