Rita Hercska

Rita Hercska is a counsellor who works in an interactive, client-centred way. She speaks English and Hungarian and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. Rita focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or isolated and guides them to clearer thinking and steadier days.

Rita draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centred listening to follow what matters to the individual and cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking are part of her toolkit too, helping people notice patterns and develop new ways of coping.

Her practice often covers everyday pressures such as stress, anxiety, work difficulties and problems in relationships. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strains, compassion fatigue and feelings of emptiness or loneliness. Rita aims to help people identify realistic goals and build on their strengths to make steady changes.

Sessions are described as warm, personal and tailored to the person’s story. Rita explains that she does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnostic assessments, or clinical letters; people who need those must see an in-person provider. The focus in sessions is practical listening, planning and learning small steps that fit into daily life.

Rita has six years of experience working in the United Kingdom. If someone prefers to speak in Hungarian she can offer support in that language as well as English. Prospective clients are invited to start a conversation about what they want to change and how to get there.

How Rita’s approaches fit into online therapy

Rita uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make practical changes. Client-centred therapy involves careful listening and following what the person finds most important, which helps when sorting through feelings of isolation or confusion. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes to improve how someone feels and functions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rita works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. She will check in and adapt the mix of listening, practical exercises and mindfulness to what helps most in real life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit into daily routines and fewer travel demands, which can make regular sessions simpler to keep. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to support steady progress, plan short check-ins around busy days, and use exercises that carry over between sessions.
