About Rita
Rita Hercska offers a warm, client-centred approach to therapy. She greets people in English and Hungarian and emphasises collaboration. Rita uses conversational, down-to-earth language to help people facing stress, anxiety, family tensions or life changes.
She draws on six years of practice as a HCPC-registered professional in the United Kingdom. Sessions are interactive and tailored to each person. Rita listens for strengths and preferences and helps set clear, practical goals for daily life.
How Rita works
Her work blends client-centred principles with cognitive and mindfulness tools. That means practical steps to manage anxious thoughts, alongside awareness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus. She also uses ideas from psychodynamic thinking and Internal Family Systems to look at recurring patterns and internal conflicts.
Rita often supports people dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain, low self-esteem or problems with sleep and eating. She is available for coaching-style conversations about career direction and life purpose as well. Specific areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aspects of neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
She does not provide legal reports, formal diagnoses, or documentation for courts. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that suit remote therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It gives space for someone to tell their story and for the therapist to respond to what matters most, which helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches straightforward techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties, using tasks and plans that can be practised between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It pairs well with CBT for managing stress and with client-centred work to support emotional awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different methods if needed, and agree a plan that fits the person's situation. This is a collaborative process shaped by progress and feedback.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These options help people arrange therapy around work, family and daily life.
