Weekly email therapy · £50 per week
For the words that arrive after the conversation. Write, pause, come back. I’ll read what you send and reply personally on our agreed weekly day.
Email therapy, also called email counselling, is a form of online therapy where you write to your therapist and receive a reply at an agreed time. With Kita Tabachka, a BACP-registered therapist, the service costs £50 per week for one personal written reply through Carepatron. You can begin with a written enquiry.
Often called email counselling, this is scheduled written support through secure Carepatron messages. One personal reply each week, on an agreed day.
Prefer to enquire here? See the written enquiry option and mention email therapy. No phone call is needed to make an enquiry.
Does any of this feel familiar?
Turn a card to explore where writing might help. These are experiences, not labels or a test.
You can take time to notice what you felt, draft your message and return to it before sending. There is no need to produce an answer while someone waits.
This may suit you if speaking in the moment takes more effort than writing.
You can use short paragraphs or bullet points and choose one concern to begin with. We can agree a simple structure for what you send and how I reply.
If writing is another task you struggle to start, tell me. We can consider whether this format fits.
A written exchange lets you seek support without a spoken conversation in a shared space. Your therapeutic messages sit within Carepatron.
You will still need a private device or account and care with notifications.
You can bring one exchange that stayed with you. Together we can explore what happened, what you understood from it and what you might need to express.
The aim is understanding and a useful next step, rather than a verdict about your partner.
You can write around work, caring responsibilities or life abroad. We agree a reply day so you know when to expect my considered response.
Before starting, we check whether I can offer this service where you are living.
You do not need a polished story. A recent moment, a feeling you cannot quite name or one question can give us somewhere to start.
The optional prompts below can help you find your first sentence.
Your way of communicating matters
Some people think more clearly when they can pause. Some find it easier to read a reply more than once. Others find writing tiring or hard to organise.
We begin with what works for you. You can ask about shorter paragraphs, clear questions, bullet points or a predictable reply day. A diagnosis is not required to discuss your communication needs.
Research with autistic adults supports offering a choice of communication formats. It does not establish that email therapy is best for every autistic person. Read the communication preferences study ↗
You do not need to type anything here. Choose a prompt to think about.
You could begin with: “The thing I most want help understanding is…”
Your choice stays on this page. It is not submitted or saved.
A weekly fee only makes sense when you know what the exchange includes. We agree these details in writing:
The fee here is £50 per week for one personal reply from me. You can ask about the format first without committing to ongoing work. See a short example of a first enquiry.
A clear, contained rhythm
Tell me you are interested in email therapy and which country you live in. You do not need to share your full story in an ordinary email.
We check whether this format fits your needs, explain confidentiality, and agree your message allowance, submission day and weekly reply day before you pay.
You send your agreed weekly message through Carepatron. I read it and send one considered reply. You have time to sit with it before our next exchange.
The person reading your words
I am Kita Tabachka, a BACP-registered therapist working with relationships, anxiety and the emotional experience of life abroad.
You might be far from home, unsure how to raise something with your partner, or tired of carrying the same worry on your own. Email therapy gives us another way to begin a conversation about it.
The therapeutic reply is from me. The format gives you time to think, and gives me space to respond with care.
More about Kita →What the exchange can feel like
This is a fictional, shortened illustration, not a client message or testimonial. Your reply would respond to your circumstances. It does not show a promised word count.
Hi Kita, I wonder where I should begin. Work is busy and everyone thinks I am doing well. Since moving, I spend most evenings alone. When my partner is distracted, I get upset, then feel embarrassed for needing so much. I do not know whether I am angry with them or lonely.
You describe holding things together at work, then coming home with very little company or comfort left around you. Your partner's distraction seems to land in that lonely space. I would want to understand what happens just before you feel upset, and what you most hope they will notice.
For this week, you could bring one recent evening into focus: what happened, what you understood it to mean and what you wanted to ask for. We can use that moment to explore your needs without deciding too quickly who is at fault.
A reply may include reflection, a question or an agreed practice. You can return to it before your next weekly message.
Writing can offer time to process. If composing messages feels exhausting or you need more immediate interaction, we can discuss another format. Ask about email therapy.
Before you begin
If a question is missing, you can ask it in your first enquiry.
Read the practice privacy policy →One considered written reply from me each week through Carepatron. Before you begin, we agree how much you can send, your submission day and when I will reply. It is billed weekly. Four weeks cost £200; a calendar month may contain more weekly payments. This is not an unlimited or live messaging service.
It is an email therapy service: you write in your own time and I respond on our agreed weekly schedule. We use Carepatron for the therapeutic exchange, rather than ordinary email. You can make an initial written enquiry, keeping personal clinical details out of that first message.
No. You do not need a diagnosis to prefer writing. If you are autistic, have ADHD or are exploring neurodivergence, we can discuss what makes communication easier for you. Email therapy does not assess or diagnose autism or ADHD, and writing will not be the right format for everyone.
Your privacy matters, and we discuss confidentiality and its limits before starting. This is not anonymous therapy: I need some identifying and location information to work responsibly. You do not need to appear on camera for the written exchanges. Care with device access and notifications also helps protect your privacy.
Yes, where email therapy is suitable for your needs. We first agree how to work together, including whether further assessment or a different form of support is needed. You can make the initial enquiry in writing.
Please tell me which country you are currently in. I work with expats and internationally mobile adults, but availability depends on your location, my professional arrangements and whether written support is suitable for you. We confirm this before you pay.
Messages are not continuously monitored. This service cannot provide immediate or crisis support. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. If you need urgent mental health help, use the urgent support available where you live rather than waiting for a reply here.
You can begin in writing
A short enquiry is enough to find out whether this could fit.

Short, honest pieces for the week everything changed: a divorce, an affair, a marriage gone quiet, a breakup, the empty weekends after separating.
For the marriage which went quiet, the load nobody sees, the affair, the baby years, and the question of whether to stay.
