Rita Hercska

Rita Hercska offers a client-centred way of working that puts the person first. She greets people with warmth and a practical focus. Rita uses conversation, coaching ideas and mindfulness to help when life feels heavy or stuck.

Rita is HCPC, which means she is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. She has six years of experience supporting people with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting stresses, grief, trauma and workplace pressure.

Her way of working is interactive and personal. Sessions are tailored to each person, with the client viewed as the expert in their own story. Rita draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive and psychodynamic ideas to spot unhelpful patterns and test small changes in everyday life.

Mindfulness forms part of her toolbox for managing strong feelings and persistent worry. Rita also uses family systems ideas to look at how relationships and roles affect current difficulties. She blends approaches to fit what a person needs in the moment rather than following one fixed method.

Rita makes clear what she does not provide: legal or court documentation, formal diagnoses, assessment reports, or letters for clinical purposes. People who need those items are advised to seek an in-person provider. She speaks English and Hungarian and works with adults from the United Kingdom.

If someone decides to begin, Rita asks them to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to availability.

Approaches that suit online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard, identify goals and build confidence to try different ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

Rita treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She will discuss options and try methods together to see what helps most. The work aims to fit the person’s needs, preferences and goals rather than sticking to one single method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule regular work around busy days, reduce travel time and fit short check-ins into a lunch break. It can also allow use of mindfulness exercises and worksheets between conversations, so progress carries over into everyday life.
