The idea is to bind the Header to the collection and then just bind the textblock to count.

<TabControl>
        <TabItem  Header="{Binding Items}">
            <ContentPresenter Content="{Binding Items, Mode=OneTime}">
                <ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding}" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>
            </ContentPresenter>
            <TabItem.HeaderTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Name="panel">
                        <TextBlock Text="Item Count"/>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Count, StringFormat={}  {0}}"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </TabItem.HeaderTemplate>
        </TabItem>
    </TabControl>

Changing your relative source for the binding for the Count to Window instead of ContentControl will do what you want, assuming this is in a WPF window. If it's UserControl, change it to that etc. You probably want to put a space after "Item Count" as well...

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Items.Count, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"/>
