Ms Tess Tambourlas
Specialist Wellness Counselor
“I approach our sessions holistically by working with body, mind and spirit connection. I use mindfulness-meditation, with CBT tools in my practice to help ground you in the present moment. We'll look at how your past has impacted your present and, how your thoughts affect your emotions, behaviour and experience.”
About Me
I offer a warm, holistic space to connect your body, mind, and spirit. We can use mindfulness-meditation to help you feel grounded in the present, even amidst life's challenges. We'll gently explore how past experiences influence your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This approach guides you to profound self-understanding, fostering greater well-being and a clearer path forward.
Approach
Sessions unfold with gentle pacing, pairing mindful practice with practical CBT techniques so you notice bodily cues, name thoughts, and test small changes between meetings. You’ll meet me in English from my Cape Town consulting space or through secure online sessions, and we’ll build brief practices you can try during the week to steady mood and clarify choices. I tend to work collaboratively and concretely—tracking patterns, experimenting with new responses, and using reflective exercises—so those navigating loss, transitions or burnout feel steadier and more in charge.
