About Rita
Rita Hercska is a UK-registered counsellor with HCPC registration and six years of practice. She speaks English and Hungarian and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, family problems, parenting pressures, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem.
Rita often works with people facing life changes, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career concerns and compassion fatigue. ADHD, attachment wounds and feelings of emptiness are additional areas she addresses.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness work and psychodynamic ideas alongside client-centred ways of talking. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people notice thought patterns and daily habits, and then tries out different coping steps that fit everyday life.
Rita describes her style as interactive and personal. She invites clients to set clear goals and to use their own strengths to reach them. Work may include looking at family of origin issues, communication patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions.
She does not provide legal or court documentation, formal diagnostic assessments or letters for clinical purposes. People who need those documents are advised to see an in-person provider. To start, clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT and related approaches are used online
Rita combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centred listening and mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. Client-centred methods mean the conversation centres on the person's experience and priorities. Mindfulness work involves simple attention and breathing practices to help with stress, sleep and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rita will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process, adjusting techniques as progress and feedback emerge.
