Rita Hercska
Practical, person-centred counselling and support
About Rita
Rita Hercska offers a client-centred counselling style that puts the person first. She greets people with warmth and seems to focus on practical steps. Rita speaks English and Hungarian and is registered with the HCPC.
She works in the United Kingdom and brings six years of experience to sessions. Rita helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or facing big life changes. She supports those dealing with family problems, parenting strain, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and career questions.
Background and approach
Her practice also covers issues such as sleeping or eating difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue. Her way of working blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centred conversations to build trust, cognitive behavioural techniques to address thinking and behaviour patterns, and mindfulness to develop calmer responses.
Rita also draws on psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems to understand patterns that repeat over time. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Rita helps clients set clear goals, spot strengths, and try small changes between meetings.
She describes her style as interactive and personal rather than distant or formulaic. Rita is clear about the limits of her role. She does not provide legal or court reports, formal diagnostic assessments, or treatment letters for clinical or legal purposes.
People who need those documents are asked to seek an in-person provider. If someone wants to begin, they can use the site process to match and schedule a session based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Rita often uses client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and helping people lead the conversation. This approach helps people explore what matters to them and identify their own strengths and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies 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 recommend pathways to try. The process is collaborative so plans are adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice call fits into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between meetings, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
