About Rita
Rita Lally is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and depression. She brings nine years of experience to sessions and aims to make conversations straightforward and effective. Rita listens carefully and works with each person to find practical ways forward.
Her work centres on understanding the whole person. She pays attention to past patterns and how they show up now.
Background and approach
This helps with issues such as attachment, abandonment worries, codependency and feelings of emptiness. Rita also supports people facing grief, trauma and difficulties linked to family or caregiving roles. Rita draws on several therapeutic styles to match the needs of the person in front of her.
She blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking to notice repeated patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with overwhelming feelings and stress. Internal Family Systems ideas help people identify different parts of themselves and how they relate.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Rita will help set clear goals and try out simple strategies between meetings. She explains things plainly and checks in about progress so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
People choose Rita when they want calm, steady support through major life changes or persistent low moods. She accepts clients who speak English and works with people from the United Kingdom and internationally by online formats.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rita will talk through options and decide together which methods fit best with your needs and preferences. The plan can change as you make progress, and sessions are shaped by what you want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when it helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family demands and travel.
