About Rita

Rita Hercska works on stress, anxiety, family and relationship concerns using a client-centred style combined with coaching, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. She is HCPC registered and has six years of practice experience in the United Kingdom.

Rita speaks English and Hungarian and helps people who feel stuck at work or in their personal lives. She supports those facing life changes, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue, and she also addresses issues such as self‑esteem, sleep and eating concerns. Her work includes attention to attachment, abandonment and family of origin problems.

In sessions she adopts a collaborative manner and treats the person as the expert on their own story. Conversations are interactive and practical, with space to reflect on patterns that repeat in relationships and at work. She uses coaching ideas alongside therapy to identify goals and small steps towards them.

Rita draws on mindfulness practices to help with stress, and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns from early relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used where helpful to address anxious or unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Internal Family Systems concepts can be brought in to work with different parts of experience.

She does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnostic reports, or assessment letters for clinical or legal purposes. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site process to match with a counsellor and book an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Rita commonly uses client-centred work which focuses on listening, understanding the person’s priorities and helping them set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, goal-led conversation about work, relationships or life changes.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to change patterns that maintain stress or anxiety. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and simple practices for coping with stress and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will discuss options with each person and choose methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the counsellor and client agree what to try and review progress together.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and fewer travel requirements. The biography does not specify which session formats are provided, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can help maintain continuity of support when life feels hectic and allow flexible scheduling without promising a specific format.
