Individual Therapy
“It was absolutely amazing (literally). Completely changed my life from not wanting to live to now being on one of the highs of life and in control of myself as opposed to being controlled by my thoughts. It was the best thing that happened to me, and has affected me so positively on a deep level. I’ve come out a changed person and better. The timing of the therapy and tasks were on-point, I would not change anything!”
“Rita is definitely a people’s person who helped me to improve my mental health and views on my life at present. I will miss our appointments. I wish her every success.”
“This therapy was very surprising and informative. It worked better than I ever expected it to. It has changed my life for the better and I would recommend this therapy to anyone.”
“CBT is a therapy process from which you will get out as much you put in. Rita is a compassionate listener who understands perfectly how to best motivate her clients to plot their own recoveries. There’s plenty of homework for you to do, which is carefully explained and brilliantly implemented. I’ve tried various different therapies in the past, and have never before felt such a personal investment in my recovery. I would recommend Rita, and CBT to anyone.”
“I was pretty daunted by the thought of seeking help to overcome my anxiety issues, but within 30 minutes of meeting Rita I felt more relaxed, reassured and – above all – hopeful. She doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, but tackles them with such compassion, thoughtfulness and patience that the process seems to unfold organically; never rushed or forced. Rita helped me to view my concerns and my life in a different light, teaching e skills I can not only use now but revisit again and again.”
“I found the service provided excellent. I found that you listened patiently to my problems and were always well prepared at the start of each session and were able to pick up from where we left off last time. I feel I really benefited from this therapy and I feel much better equipped to solve my problems. Thanks mainly to Rita.”
“I found the therapy to be a great help to me, I am now more positive about my life. Rita has been a great listener, and has given me great advice, which has made my life a lot better. The work that we did together was always agreed on by both of us and Rita made me feel comfortable with the therapy. I owe her a lot of thanks.”
“I was really impressed with your knowledge base and ability to tailor approaches so I understand them in my own words. I thought your approach was really balanced – collaborative and guiding rather than over-bearing and controlling (which was my experience with a counsellor previously). I really liked the behavioural experiments because it made the theory real. Thank you!”
“Working with Rita made a profound positive impact in my life. the problem I sought help with was quickly and sustainably resolved, and far beyond that Rita helped me to discover and implement strategies that I have put to work in many other areas too. I now feel more able to realise my potential and work effectively at whatever I am doing, and also more able to enjoy and take pride in myself and my work.”

“I really looked forward to our sessions as Rita was always warm, compassionate and engaging. Her practical and non-judgemental stance made me feel as though I could bring anything up and she would help me think constructively around it and find a strategy that worked for me to resolve it. I also appreciated her realistic preparations for any bumps in the road, and her sensitive and effective work in helping me to re-frame my understanding of how I was doing so that i could more easily celebrate and make use of learning experiences and successes. Finally her well-placed humour and personability meant that sessions couldn’t help but feel like positive experiences in themselves. I’ll miss our sessions but I feel confident that she has helped me gather together a host of techniques that I can make use of whenever I need them.”
“Rita is an amazingly compassionate and patient individual whose skills and insights have helped me to confront some of the toughest challenges of my life. Rita provided me with a safe environment in which to share my thoughts and feelings, and work together on different approaches to what I was going through, all at my own pace. I am extremely grateful for what Rita has helped me to achieve, it’s been one of the most valuable and fulfilling experiences I’ve ever undertaken.”
“Having worked with Rita for a number of months on my issues regarding self-image and social anxiety, I can safely say that all the time I’ve spent working with her has been worth it. Rita really took the time to understand me and my thoughts, perceptions and beliefs as a person and then helped me construct a gradual process that overtime challenged my toxic and non-beneficial beliefs and assumptions that had at the time contributed to my emotional condition in social situations and overall self-esteem. The process was challenging and there were many times where I felt like giving up because the results were not immediate, however I’m glad that I saw it through until the end and had the opportunity to witness my growth as a person during that time.”
“Rita is a wonder. If you feel anxious, or even think you feel anxious, email Rita immediately. She is kind, compassionate, hugely experienced, funny and will help you sort your life out. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“I’d like to thank Rita for her supportive, sensitive and generally brilliant assistance during an extremely tough period of my life. My ability to deal with anxiety has improved immeasurably as has, in consequence, my outlook on life in general.”
