About Rita

Rita Hercska recognizes how modern life can create pressure to appear successful, fit, and in control of work, family and relationships. She understands that when everyday demands pile up and coping feels difficult, people can begin to believe they have failed - and that asking for help in this moment takes real courage. Rita meets that courage with a respectful, collaborative approach and frames the decision to seek support as an important first step toward greater balance.

Rita is an English and Hungarian speaking, UK-registered counselling psychologist with HCPC credentials and has six years of practice experience. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, family and relationship challenges, coping with life changes, somatisation, grief, trauma, low self-esteem and issues that make life feel stuck. Her clinical style draws on coaching, family systems ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking, and she integrates techniques to suit each person’s situation.

Working in a warm, interactive and client-centered way, Rita treats the person as the expert on their own story and partners with clients to clarify goals and identify personal strengths to support change. She adapts methods rather than applying a single model, offering a tailored path toward the outcomes clients want. Please note that Rita does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnoses, assessments, treatment reports, or letters for clinical purposes - clients who require those services will need to see an in-person provider. Rita looks forward to supporting people who are ready to take steps toward a more balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship in which the person is treated as the expert on their own life. This approach helps people exploring identity, self-esteem, relationship patterns and difficult life decisions by prioritizing their values and pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours - it offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, sleep difficulties and emotional overwhelm.

Rita approaches treatment collaboratively and sees finding the right mix of methods as part of the therapeutic process. She will work with clients to clarify goals, review what helps and adjust the approach based on needs, preferences and progress, drawing on registered professionals and therapists' evidence-informed practices as appropriate.

Online therapy with Rita is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote options make it easier to access ongoing support from the United Kingdom without the need for in-person travel, and they allow sessions to fit around work, family and daily commitments while preserving continuity of care.
