Rita Hercska , HCPC

Rita Hercska is a UK-registered counselling psychologist with HCPC registration - HCPC stands for Health and Care Professions Council and is the regulator for health and care professionals in the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and Hungarian and brings a warm, interactive, and client-centered style to her work. Rita understands that modern life often sends the message that people should always feel fine, succeed at work, and manage family and relationships effortlessly, and she acknowledges how difficult it can feel when those expectations are overwhelming or unattainable.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people through stress and anxiety, family difficulties, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, somatisation, and times when life or work feels stuck. Rita blends coaching, family systems ideas, mindfulness, and psychodynamic perspectives to create a tailored, eclectic approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and collaborates to identify meaningful goals and the strengths that will move them toward those goals.

Rita’s aim is to make the therapeutic process respectful, practical, and rooted in the client’s needs. She offers a compassionate space to explore relationships, trauma, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and many other issues listed in her specialties. Please note that she does not provide legal or court documentation, formal diagnoses, clinical assessment reports, treatment reports, or letters for clinical or legal purposes; clients who need such documentation should seek an in-person provider.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Rita Hercska

Rita commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective and values guide the process - it is useful for building self-understanding, confidence, and clearer goals. CBT is a structured approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can help reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rita works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Rita can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without lengthy travel, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to tailor sessions to the practical realities of a client’s life.
