Tanita Dore

I am currently available to see clients at The Elephant rooms in Draycott and the Psychotherapy rooms in Derby city centre.

I am available for sessions online and on the telephone.

A warm welcome to you, my name is Tanita and I am an Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. This means that I believe in providing therapy that is tailored to you, appreciating that everyone is a unique individual, rather than a one size fits all approach.

Integrative therapy recognizes the deep connections between all aspects of a person's life—emotional, physical, and social. It allows for exploration of how past experiences and present challenges can impact overall well-being. This holistic approach to therapy encourages gentle curiosity about experiences that may have shaped your self-perception, relationships, and the way you navigate the world. Through integrative practice, your journey toward improved well-being, mental health, and a higher quality of life is actively supported.

I work both short term and long term depending on the individual need. I have experience in supporting people with a range of issues, including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low mood, trauma, grief/loss, self-esteem, disordered eating, body image, suicidal ideation, self-harm, neurodivergence, relationships & long-term health conditions.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space, tailoring the therapeutic experience to your individual need, at your own pace. I am passionate about supporting people in their self-discovery, as they uncover aspects of their life which they want to accept, change or let go of. It is truly an honour to hold a hopeful space for others and witness them take steps to living the life that reflects their truest self.

Reaching out for support can be daunting and unnerving, I appreciate the courage it takes to make the first step. I understand that beginning your therapeutic journey is not easy, however, I am committed to providing a professional, confidential space, that is also compassionate and supportive as we work through your troubles together. 

If you're not sure if therapy is right for you, you can schedule a free initial 20-minute appointment by email. This initial appointment can be conducted over the phone or over video, and it will allow me to better understand your goals for therapy while also giving you a chance to ask any questions. Additionally, it's a chance for you to get a feel for whether you feel that therapy with myself is right for you.
