Welcome, Brave Soul!
I believe nowadays we all receive the message to feel good, be successful in our job, be fit and manage our life, our children and relationships well. If we don’t feel that well, finding our everyday life a chain of challenges and not able to cope all the time, that can make us believe that we failed. Asking for help in this situation is very hard. So that’s why I think you are brave, because you have just decided to take a step and make changes for a happier and more balanced life. This process can be challenging but luckily there are people who help you on your way. If you honour me with your trust I can be one of them and can make your journey easier.
My name is Rita I am an English/Hungarian speaking, UK registered counselling psychologist. I have experience in helping clients with family problems, stress and anxiety, coping with life changes, somatisation and I helped people who simply felt they got stuck with their personal or work lives or relationships. My approach is based on coaching, family systems theory, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy.
My main and only aim has always been to help people who turned to me and I do it in a respectful and client-centred way. My style during our helping discussions is interactive, warm, personal and quite eclectic. I tailor my approach to you, the person who is an expert of your own story. We work together to find your goals and your strengths that will help you to reach these goals.
I look forward to speaking with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I am really pleased with the help I received from Rita. After going through a stressful redundancy with my employer, Rita was able to effectively help me to realign my perspective and improve my confidence. This helped me to find the resilience that was needed in order for me to keep going and improving in my search for a new role, which I eventually found.
