About Rita

Rita Da Silva is a counsellor with 17 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, loss, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Rita speaks English and Portuguese and accepts international clients who prefer remote sessions.

Her style is calm and respectful. She aims to make the first session straightforward and easy to begin. Rita listens carefully and helps people feel understood before suggesting ways to move forward.

Background and approach

Rita adapts her work to each person’s situation. She addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and sexuality, and issues such as caregiver stress, communication problems and control issues. She also supports people dealing with divorce, guilt, shame and isolation.

She helps people manage panic and social anxiety, and works with those rethinking life purpose or rebuilding self-love. Conversations cover what is causing distress, what patterns maintain it, and practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily coping. Rita uses approaches grounded in evidence and focuses on what the individual needs right now.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Rita lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in day-to-day life. One approach helps people understand emotional patterns and how past attachment or abandonment issues affect current relationships; it can reduce anxiety about closeness and rejection. Another approach breaks down overwhelming feelings into manageable steps, teaching breathing and grounding strategies for panic and social anxiety while also working on thinking patterns that fuel worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rita discusses options with each person and adjusts methods to match goals, needs and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps people try what fits best and change direction if something is not helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make contact easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while staying connected with a registered professional.
