TABITHA THERAPY
Psychotherapist, Couples Counsellor, EMDR Therapist

About Me
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, Couples Counsellor and EMDR Therapist.
I am an Accredited Member of the BACP. and Member of EMDR Association.
Integrative means that I have many different tools at my disposal because I feel that no two people are the same and therefore I can adapt my methods to suit accordingly.
I believe that therapy is relational and therefore it is very important that my clients all feel safe, comfortable and not judged by me. This is why I usually talk to all my clients before booking in the first session to make sure I am able to help and also allow the client to gain a sense of me. If you are booking directly online then I will also call first to have a brief chat.
The assessment session is a chance for you to see if we will work well together.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes and cost £50, couples and EMDR sessions are 1.5hrs and cost £75
I have worked in the bereavement sector with Cruse Bereavement Lambeth, St. Christopher's Hospice in South London and The Awareness Centre within the NHS before setting up my private practise in 2018.
Services I Offer
Face to Face Therapy
Many people like physically coming to therapy sessions and talking in person to their therapist. I offer sessions like this on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Skype/Internet Sessions
Not everyone is able to physically get to therapy whether this is due to work commitments, distances or difficulties leaving their home. This is why I offer Skype sessions in which a client can still 'meet' me online and have access to counselling. Even though some people find this a strange concept it does work very effectively.
Phone Therapy
For people who are in areas of poor internet connection or indeed who may not be internet/technology minded I offer telephone Counselling. Again this is very useful for people who cannot easily travel and is still an effective was to access therapy. It can seem strange not to meet a Counsellor in person or see them across a screen but it still provides a safe and supportive space in which to talk.

I had previously had a bad experience with counselling so I was a little apprehensive when we first started but Tabitha instantly put me at ease. Our sessions felt as comfortable as a chat with a friend, but she helped me to recognise patterns of behaviour, and to look at things differently which has helped me hugely. She helped me come to terms with several things and increased my confidence. We had both face to face and Skype sessions, and both worked well. I highly recommend Tabitha as a Counsellor.
HM December 2019
‘When I first met Tabitha she immediately put me at ease and created an inviting and welcoming environment. We continued to work together for nearly 9 months and the experience has been life changing. She enabled me to see things from a different perspective and encouraged me to explore my feelings further. I only wish I’d sought her help sooner and I would highly recommend Tabitha’

Tabitha was an incredibly open, relatable and supportive therapist. I feel I have grown so much in myself through working with her and can now reflect on my behaviour and emotional responses with much more clarity. She created a safe space for me to be fully open and confront unhelpful thought patterns, helping me take back control. I feel like a new person and that I have the tools to tackle whatever life might throw at me. It has been a challenging but rewarding journey - thank you so much

SW Feb 2019
"Thank you for leading me through the journey. Your insight, patience and understanding have made me a better person. I'll always be grateful".
EH April 2019
"I came to Tabitha having gotten stuck in my grieving process and feeling helpless about how to move forward. After a series of sessions I feel I've moved past some of the issues that were holding be back and have learnt new skills and coping mechanisms to help me with my grief in the future. Tabitha approached our sessions as a collaborative exercise, working with aspects of my personality to help me come to terms with my grief in a way that felt comfortable for me".
