About Rita

Rita Lally uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of every session. She draws on nine years of practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Rita also supports people dealing with relationship issues, grief, addictions and trauma and abuse.

Rita listens without judgement and focuses on what matters to the individual in front of her. Sessions are collaborative - she asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps people find practical ways forward.

Background and approach

The tone is warm and straightforward rather than clinical. She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency and difficulties around separation and divorce. Rita can help people cope with life changes, career pressures and compassion fatigue.

She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. Rita blends approaches to suit each person’s needs. Mindfulness can help calm overwhelming emotions.

Psychodynamic ideas can uncover patterns that repeat in relationships. Internal Family Systems offers a way to notice different parts of the self and how they interact. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online.

Rita is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Her practice aims to be practical and humane, helping people make steady progress at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support

Rita often works in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on the individual's concerns and priorities. This approach involves careful listening and reflection, helping people feel heard while they decide what changes to make.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and ground emotions. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, rumination and managing strong feelings in day-to-day life. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring patterns in relationships and mood, helping people see how past experiences influence present reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rita will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made over time to fit what actually helps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual connection, phone can be useful for a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits people who prefer writing or need flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
