About me
Hello! I am Tabitha, an experienced and qualified counsellor and I am here to support you in getting from where you are, to where you would like to be. I've worked with people in a variety of settings, and have spent a lot of time with people working through anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. I also understand the challenges that unpaid carers face and pride myself on providing a supportive space for anyone experiencing difficulties.
Together we can work through these difficulties with kindness, patience, creativity and humour.
People are, I believe, not just one thing or feeling - we can experiencing several, sometimes contradictory, feelings at once. We might have a side of us that's desperate to change and a part of us that is scared to let go of old ways or scared to approach particular feelings. I aim to help bring these different sides into a more harmonious space. All parts of you are welcome in the therapy room. Even the anxious or self critical parts? Yes, especially those!
If you have had a Near Death Experience (NDE), I also can provide a safe a supportive space to explore thoughts and feelings around your experience.
If you would like to book a free consultation, simply click 'book intro call' at the top of the page and choose a suitable time slot, and I will get back to you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
