Rita HercskaHCPC

Rita Hercska offers a warm, person-centred way of working. She speaks English and Hungarian and is registered with the HCPC. Rita writes plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take small steps toward a more balanced life.

Rita has six years of experience supporting people who feel stuck at work or in relationships. She helps with stress and anxiety, parenting and family problems, coping with life changes, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related concerns.

Her approach is flexible and collaborative. Rita draws on client-centred ways of working, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, and family systems thinking. She treats the person as the expert of their life and adapts methods to fit each person's goals.

Sessions tend to be interactive and practical. Rita helps clients identify strengths and set realistic goals. Conversations aim to make difficult problems easier to manage and to build skills for coping with everyday pressures.

Rita is clear about limits of service. She does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnoses, formal assessments, treatment reports, or letters for clinical or legal purposes. People who need those specific documents are asked to see an in-person provider.

To begin, readers are invited to consider whether this style of supportive, goal-focused counselling feels right for them before following the site process to make contact.

How Rita's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. It helps people find their own answers and is useful for struggles with low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers practical tasks and strategies to manage anxiety, mood, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple, moment-to-moment awareness practices into sessions. It can help reduce stress, improve concentration, and support coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rita will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from a quieter or more convenient location. It also lets people use worksheets and mindfulness exercises during sessions in real time. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so you know what to expect.
