About

Talitha Amanda Newton

I’m a specialist couple counsellor and experienced psychotherapist who offers a calm, supportive space for couples and individuals navigating relationship or emotional distress. With over 15 years of experience and a Master’s degree in Couples Counselling, I bring both professional expertise and a deep, lived understanding of the human experience. I know how painful it can be when communication breaks down, trust is lost, or conflict becomes overwhelming—and I’m here to help you find your way through it.

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based modalities such as Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and CBT. I have a strong interest in psychoeducation and somatic practices, supporting clients to reconnect with their emotional and physical selves in a safe and meaningful way.

I’m deeply passionate about inclusivity and creating a therapeutic space where all clients feel seen and respected. I also have a particular interest in supporting neurodiverse couples. My practice is affirming, non-judgmental, and tailored to the unique needs and experiences of each person or relationship system I work with.

Drawing on both my clinical training and rich personal experience, I aim to support you in rebuilding trust, deepening emotional connection, and creating lasting, meaningful change.

Client Testimonials

  • “Talitha has always had a high level of professionalism & compassion for my situation & have helped guide me on my road to recovery. She has gone above & beyond at times to help assist me in my toughest times & for this I am truly thankful.”

  • “Talitha Newton is a fantastic counsellor that I would highly recommend. I struggled with mental health illnesses, past trauma and was emotionally overwhelmed with many aspects of my life. Talitha was recommended to me by my family and from the first session I knew that Talitha was going to do everything she could to get me back to full health. Through talking therapy and many emotional sessions we were able to work together, and I could understand new perspectives which allowed me to have control over my emotions and overcome anxieties. Talitha was always available to me and extremely understanding over the years. She provided a personal understanding to me and my health issues which ultimately contributed to me being where I am today. Thankyou Talitha.”

  • “I highly recommend Talitha. She is an incredible counsellor who is compassionate, gentle and understanding. Her ability to tap intuitively into my needs allowed her to support me on so many levels.”

  • “Talitha assisted me through a very difficult time. When I started seeing Talitha, I was under a lot of stress and experiencing issues with anxiety and chronic pain. Through counselling, Talitha was able to help me to reduce these symptoms until they were no longer having an impact on my life. I am so grateful to Talitha and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

  • “If you are looking for a safe space to feel heard, seen, nurtured and believed in, this is where you need to be. Her soothing, wise and validating ways will leave you feeling lighter and stronger at the same time. I couldn’t recommend more highly.”
