About Rita

Rita Lally is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through hard times. She draws on nine years of experience to help with anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and life transitions. Rita works in English and accepts international clients.

Rita keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens first, then helps each person set small, manageable steps. Conversations focus on what matters most now - coping with stress, dealing with grief, or managing addictive behaviours.

Background and approach

She aims to make things clearer rather than add more jargon. Her work blends reflective listening with psychodynamic ideas about past patterns. She also uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away.

Internal Family Systems is part of her practice when people want to understand inner parts and conflicting urges. Rita has experience addressing family and relationship difficulties, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency and communication problems. She also supports people facing career-related stress, caregiver strain and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes helping with trauma, dissociation and mood challenges. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Ways of working Rita names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Rita commonly blends client-centred work with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to support people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping a person lead the pace of their own change; it works well for people who want a supportive, non-directive space. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices so people can notice stress and strong feelings without being overwhelmed. Psychodynamic approaches look at recurring relationship patterns and early experiences to make sense of why certain reactions keep happening.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest a way forward. That discussion is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or be easier when video is not needed. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers typing their thoughts. These options make it easier to keep up with regular appointments and to choose the format that best suits day-to-day life.
