About Rita
Rita Lally uses a person-centred approach that puts the individual's experience first. She offers a calm, steady presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship problems. Rita's name appears up front so readers know who leads the work and what to expect in session.
Rita has nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and works collaboratively to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical ways to cope and change. Her day-to-day practice draws on client-centred work and mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming feelings.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas and internal family systems thinking when it helps to understand recurring patterns and internal conflicts. These approaches are selected to match what an individual brings, not as fixed rules. Rita supports people facing life changes, grief, trauma and addiction issues.
She also helps with family problems, communication difficulties, codependency and caregiver stress. Her experience covers attachment and abandonment concerns, dissociation and emotional emptiness. In sessions people can expect clear, compassionate listening and practical steps to try between meetings.
Rita works with each person to set aims and review progress. The overall aim is to help people feel more steady, make clearer choices and rebuild trust in themselves.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will discuss which ideas might help and tailor methods to each person's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so the approach can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give options that fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a conversation without video is preferable. Live chat or text sessions enable shorter check-ins, written reflections, or a way to stay in touch between longer meetings. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on what each person needs.
