About Rita
Rita Hercska offers a warm, person-centred approach that frames the client as the expert of their own life. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC, and speaks English and Hungarian. Rita focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward.
Rita draws on coaching ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness to tailor sessions to each person. She aims for an interactive and personal style.
Background and approach
In practice this means setting clear goals together and exploring the strengths that will help reach them. People contact her for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports clients through relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, grief and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
Rita has six years of experience working with clients who describe problems such as anger, eating or sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue and career uncertainty. Additional focus areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and caregiver stress.
She does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnostic reports, or letters for clinical purposes; clients needing those services are asked to seek an in‑person provider. Rita aims to make the work collaborative and practical, helping people to build coping strategies and notice small changes over time.

How Rita works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will discuss different ways of working and jointly decide what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the focus of sessions as therapy progresses.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life, reduce travel time and allow for an uninterrupted check‑in from elsewhere. It can also make shorter or more frequent appointments simpler to arrange when needed.
