Rita Lally uses a person-centred approach to guide sessions. She offers calm, focused support for people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Rita works with those facing depression, relationship difficulties and big life changes.

Her style is warm and collaborative and she keeps things practical and down to earth. Rita has nine years' experience as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation. She listens closely and asks clear questions to help people find what matters to them.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills and noticing how past experiences shape current choices. Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and on mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions. Internal Family Systems ideas are used to name and relate to different parts of the self.

These approaches are blended to match each person’s needs rather than applied in one fixed way. Rita supports people facing grief, trauma and addiction, and she also helps with career stress and compassion fatigue. She works with issues such as attachment and abandonment fears, codependency, communication problems and difficulties after separation.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Goals are set together and reviewed as progress is made. Rita offers sessions in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach: She aims to create a steady space for honest conversation and practical change. Over time she helps people build more flexible ways of coping and clearer choices about relationships, work and wellbeing.

How Rita’s approaches work online

Rita blends person-centred work with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to offer clear, online support. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers, which suits issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices for noticing thoughts and feelings, which can ease anxiety and help with stress management. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that come from past relationships, useful for understanding attachment and repeated conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rita will discuss what matters to you, try different ways of working and agree a path that fits your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online formats let sessions fit around work, family and travel. Video calls are good for a full conversational session, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday commitments.
