Rita Da Silva

Rita Da Silva is a counsellor with 17 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She works in a calm and respectful way and aims to create a space where clients feel heard and can begin to make changes. Rita speaks English and Portuguese and practices in the United Kingdom.

Rita shapes sessions around each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, and helps clients identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations often cover relationships, communication, feelings about separation and loss, and how everyday pressures affect mood and coping.

Her work includes supporting people through issues related to abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. She also addresses feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Rita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work without making promises about outcomes.

People meet Rita to talk through panic attacks, social anxiety, problems with control, and challenges around sexuality and self-love. She aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, improve self‑understanding and find ways to manage intense emotions more effectively. Practical tools and steady reflection are mixed in each session.

Rita asks new clients to start with a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to her availability. She accepts international clients and will explain how she works at the first meeting to make sure it feels like a good fit.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Rita draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach she uses is talking through thoughts and behaviours to spot how they feed anxiety and low mood; this helps people try small, practical experiments to test different ways of coping. Another frequent element is working with emotions and attachment patterns to make sense of grief, abandonment or relationship worries; this supports clearer communication and steadier emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rita will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods that suit each person’s goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to adjust the plan so it stays helpful and realistic.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caregiving. It can also offer options for shorter check-ins when that is more practical. The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the session types offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly deliver care this way and adapt sessions to suit each client's daily routine.
