About Rita
Rita Hercska is a counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC. She speaks English and Hungarian and offers conversational, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She often helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and with the knock-on problems these bring to work, relationships and daily routine.
Rita focuses on practical conversations that identify goals and small steps. She treats each person as the expert on their life and adapts her approach to what they need.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to find strengths to build on and clearer ways to handle difficult moments. Her practice combines client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems to understand repeating patterns and internal conflicts.
The mix is chosen to fit the person rather than a fixed formula. Rita has six years of professional experience in the UK and uses that time to support people facing family problems, parenting strain, trauma, grief and issues around intimacy. She also helps with eating and sleep difficulties, anger, career questions and compassion fatigue.
She does not provide legal or court documentation, formal diagnostic reports, or assessment letters; clients who need those should see an in-person provider. If someone wants to begin, the process is straightforward and centred on matching goals and practical scheduling.

Online support
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Rita will talk through options with you and adapt methods as you go. Together you agree goals and try different ways of working until something feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit your life. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing, need flexible timing, or want frequent brief check-ins between longer sessions.
These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments. Rita and other registered or accredited professionals use these options to make care more accessible and to support steady progress over time.
