About Rita
Rita Lally is a counsellor who uses a collaborative, person-focused approach. She draws on nine years of experience to help people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or unsettled by big life changes. Rita listens without judgement and helps people make sense of difficult feelings.
Sessions are aimed at understanding what matters most to the client and finding manageable steps forward. The tone is curious and direct, not clinical or distant.
Background and approach
She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and caregiver stress. Rita also supports people facing career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, or issues rooted in attachment and abandonment. Her practice brings together client-centred ways of working with psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness techniques.
That mix helps clients name patterns, notice their reactions, and try different ways of responding. Internal Family Systems ideas are sometimes used to explore the parts of a person that hold painful feelings. Rita offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Work can be short term or longer depending on needs, and she helps people set clear goals for therapy. The focus is practical - calming anxiety, improving communication, and building steadier routines and self-care.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. It involves listening carefully, reflecting what comes up, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It helps people notice when worry or sadness takes over and develop steadier responses to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will discuss goals and preferences and together you can try different methods to see what helps most. The therapist treats this as a collaboration and will adjust methods based on what you find useful.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you keep visual connection while phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity between sessions.
