Rita Hercska , HCPC

Rita Hercska is an HCPC-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who works in both English and Hungarian and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, family and parenting difficulties, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, sleep and eating problems, anger, career challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication and commitment difficulties, and questions of life purpose.

Rita describes her work as respectful, interactive, and client-centered. She draws on an eclectic mix of methods - including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic ideas, and family systems perspectives - and adapts these to each person’s needs. Her style aims to help clients identify realistic goals, recognise strengths, and develop practical ways to move forward in personal, family, and work life.

Rita holds HCPC registration - a UK professional registration for health and care practitioners - and uses a coaching-informed approach alongside therapeutic work. She is clear about the limits of her service and does not provide legal or court documentation, formal diagnostic reports, or letters for clinical or legal purposes; clients needing those documents are advised to seek an in-person provider.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rita integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, respectful relationship where the client’s own perspective and goals guide the work; it is useful for people seeking clearer direction, stronger self-worth, and better communication in relationships.

CBT offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies to reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions, which supports stress management, emotional regulation, and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rita works with each person to explore needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors methods from different models to fit the client’s situation, pace, and values. This collaborative planning helps ensure the therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow clients to access therapy from their own environments and to find a mode of communication that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional.
