About Rita Hercska

Rita Hercska frames difficult moments as understandable responses to modern pressures rather than personal failure. She recognizes how expectations to perform at work, manage family life, and appear well can leave people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to cope, and she invites those who seek support to take a considered step toward greater balance. Rita works in English and Hungarian and is a UK registered counselling psychologist with HCPC registration - HCPC indicates registration with the UK regulator for health and care professionals.

Over six years of practice, she has supported people facing family problems, stress and anxiety, somatisation, life transitions, and situations where personal or work life feels blocked. Her approach is respectful and client-centred, shaped by coaching, family systems theory, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. She brings an interactive, warm, and personal style and adapts methods to the needs and strengths of each person, treating the client as the expert in their own story.

Rita emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and aims to help clients identify strengths that support change. She is clear about professional limits - she does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnoses, formal assessments, treatment reports, or letters for any clinically related purpose, and clients who require such documentation will need to see an in-person provider. Rita is not currently accepting new clients.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a supportive therapeutic relationship so that clients can explore their values, choices, and personal goals. It helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and interpersonal concerns by placing the client s experience at the core of the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns by identifying and testing unhelpful thinking and developing alternative coping skills.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of internal experience. It can reduce reactivity to stress, support emotional regulation, and complement other therapeutic work for anxiety, stress, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is explored collaboratively. Rita will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time so therapy aligns with the client s needs.

Online therapy with Rita can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, access support from home, and fit sessions into a busy schedule while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
