Rita Hercska is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find more balance. She speaks English and Hungarian and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, stated as HCPC. Her style is warm and interactive and she adapts conversations to each person’s needs.

Rita focuses on everyday problems that pile up until they feel overwhelming. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and major life changes.

Background and approach

Relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, anger, sleep or eating difficulties and career uncertainty are also common topics in sessions. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviour interact, and on mindfulness to build steady awareness in stressful moments.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider earlier life patterns and Internal Family Systems to help people understand inner parts that affect choices. Rita takes a collaborative approach. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their story and helps them set clear goals.

Conversations include practical steps, reflective work and skills to manage mood, stress or unhelpful patterns. Clients are told at first that Rita does not provide legal documents, diagnostic reports or treatment letters for court or other official purposes. She aims to make the process manageable and to help people move forward one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Rita uses Client-Centred Therapy to make the conversation personal and respectful, focusing on the person’s own views and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour connect and provides practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit. The decision about which tools to use is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat or text sessions are useful for shorter check-ins and for people who prefer typed communication. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life.
