About Rita
Rita Hercska is a counsellor who uses a client-centred style to help people feel steadier in daily life. She works in English and Hungarian and is registered with the HCPC. Rita describes her approach as warm, interactive and tailored to each person.
Rita often helps people who feel stuck at work or in relationships. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. Sleep and eating difficulties, anger and intimacy-related worries are also within her focus. She also addresses parenting strain, family problems and compassion fatigue.
Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems elements. In sessions she listens for strengths and practical goals, then uses techniques from these approaches to try to reduce unhelpful patterns. Rita frames the work as collaborative coaching and therapy that adapts to the person’s needs.
With six years of experience, she has worked with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress and ADHD-related concerns. She makes clear she does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnostic assessments, or treatment reports and recommends in-person services when those are needed.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Rita aims to help clients notice small changes that build into steadier routines and improved coping over time.
How Rita’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects concerns back, helps people identify goals and follows the pace set by the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses straightforward exercises to shift them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm, useful for stress and sleep disruption.Finding which approach fits is part of the work. Rita will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of combining methods. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and removing travel time so conversations can happen from a familiar place. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find that shorter check-ins or guided exercises work well remotely, and online sessions can make regular follow-up easier to maintain.
