About Rita
HCPC. 6 years' experience. Rita Hercska works with adults on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, and related issues using a mix of approaches she describes as coaching, family systems theory, mindfulness and psychodynamic work.
Rita is an English and Hungarian speaking counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel stuck in their personal life, work or relationships. Common areas she supports include coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and depression.
Her practice combines client-centred conversation with techniques drawn from cognitive and system-focused approaches. Sessions tend to be interactive and personal, with practical steps alongside reflection. She aims to identify goals and strengths the person already has and uses those to make change more manageable.
Rita also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, commitment difficulties and family of origin issues. She lists compassion fatigue, ADHD, and themes of isolation or emptiness among her focus areas.
She makes a clear distinction between counselling work and medico-legal tasks. She does not provide legal or court documentation, diagnosis, assessment reports or letters for clinical purposes; clients needing those must see an in-person provider.
How Rita’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person brings. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and practical behaviours that keep problems going and offers straightforward exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will discuss different methods and agree a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may combine elements from several approaches rather than one single method.
The practical arrangements for remote counselling should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list session formats. Check which session types are available and choose what fits your routine. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit online sessions and help keep progress moving between meetings.
