About Rita
Rita Hercska works from a client-centred stance that puts the person first. She speaks English and Hungarian and aims to help people who feel stuck at work or in their personal life. Rita focuses on practical change, clearer thinking and building on strengths to improve day-to-day wellbeing.
She draws on a blend of approaches including coaching, family systems ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions are conversational and tailored to the person’s situation. Rita uses short-term practical tools alongside deeper discussion about past patterns and relationships.
Rita has six years of professional experience and holds HCPC registration. Over that time she has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression and career-related concerns. She also works with people facing grief, trauma and relationship difficulties.
Her practice includes work around parenting and family challenges, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and the practical strains that come with life changes. Rita also supports people with eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and feelings of emptiness.
Rita is clear about limits to her service. She does not provide legal or court documentation, formal diagnoses, assessment reports or letters for clinical purposes. People needing those documents are advised to seek an in-person provider who can offer them.
How Rita’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers, which suits conversations about work stress or life choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and workplace problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. These practices can support people dealing with overwhelm, sleep problems or compassion fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as you go. That helps keep the work relevant to everyday life and to workplace pressures.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins around a break at work and reduce the need to travel. It also means therapeutic tools like CBT worksheets or mindfulness exercises can be practised between sessions to support progress.
