BACP-registered integrative therapist

About Kita Tabachka

BACP-registered online therapist working with individuals and couples in English, in the UK and internationally.

I am a BACP-registered therapist working online with adults and couples in English, in the UK and internationally.

My work is especially focused on relationships under pressure, relationship anxiety, trust rupture, attachment pain, communication breakdown, expat life, trailing partner strain, burnout and the emotional cost of trying to function well while carrying too much internally.

I work in a way that is calm, direct and psychologically precise. Therapy with me is not polished performance, passive nodding or generic reassurance. It is about understanding what is happening, what keeps repeating, and what needs to change.

Why I work this way

I am interested in the private version of people’s lives.

The relationship that looks fine but feels painful. The move abroad everyone calls exciting. The anxiety that sounds unreasonable until we understand what it is protecting. The person who looks capable but knows they are not okay inside.

Good therapy should not make people perform distress beautifully. It should help them tell the truth clearly enough that the truth can be worked with.

Background and perspective

Clinical work, strategy and real life are not separate in how I listen.

Before building my work as a therapist, I came from a world where pressure, performance, decision-making and strategy mattered. I understand high-functioning lives, responsibility, ambition and the cost of always appearing capable.

I also understand something of life lived between cultures and countries, the disorientation of not belonging simply, and the way identity can shift when home, language, work and relationships become more complicated.

Those experiences do not replace clinical training. They shape the kind of attention I bring into the room.

How I work

Depth with direction.

I work in a way that balances emotional depth with structure. Therapy is not reduced to tips and techniques alone. It is also not allowed to drift into endless reflection with no movement.

With couples, I listen for the conflict cycle rather than arguing only about content. With individuals, I listen for what anxiety, attachment pain, self-doubt, resentment or emotional overload is trying to manage. The aim is to make the pattern visible, workable and less powerful.

Who I work with

Individuals and couples, not couples only.

  • Couples under pressure, including recurring conflict, emotional distance, betrayal and repair.
  • Individuals with relationship anxiety, overthinking, reassurance loops and self-trust issues.
  • Expats and internationally mobile clients navigating life across countries.
  • Trailing partners facing identity loss, dependence shifts and resentment.
  • Long-distance and cross-cultural couples living with time zones, family pressure, belonging and difference.
  • Clients affected by trauma, attachment pain, burnout and emotionally loaded patterns.

Zara and Linda

You may meet them in the background of a session. Zara is my 16-year-old Labrador, gentle and quietly in charge of the house. Linda came from Bosnia five years ago, adopted and deeply loved.

They are a small reminder of something therapy also knows: safety is often built through presence, routine and being met without performance, not only through big speeches.

How do I know if we are the right fit?

A consultation gives us space to understand what brings you here, how I work, and whether beginning together feels right.

The fit matters too

The work matters, but the fit matters too.

Therapy is not only about method. It is also about whether you feel able to think, speak and be honest in the room. If the way I work feels aligned, the next step is a consultation.
