Tess uses a Person-Centred approach that values the client's own experience. She encourages people to notice their feelings, find their own answers, and build confidence in decision making. The emphasis is on understanding and acceptance so new choices can feel possible.

Person-Centred support online and how it helps
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's experience. The counsellor offers warm, non-judgemental listening and reflects what the person says. This helps people clarify feelings, increase self-understanding and make choices that feel right for them. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, identity questions and processing difficult experiences.Tess will work collaboratively with each person to find what fits best. She will talk through goals, try different ways of working and adjust approaches as needs change. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process and happens together, rather than being decided in advance by the counsellor.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can allow fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work and life commitments and to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable.
