Mrs Rita Inak-Hale

Registered Psychotherapist

“I am an experienced independent psychodynamic psychotherapist. Please see my website for further information.”

About Me

I offer a thoughtful space to explore your inner world. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I help you understand how past experiences shape current feelings. We can also explore your relationships. Together, we'll make sense of recurring patterns. This helps you discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. My approach is ideal for those seeking deeper self-understanding and lasting, meaningful change.

Approach

Sessions are paced to allow quiet reflection and steady exploration of what feels most alive for you, gently connecting feeling, memory and present behaviour. I offer face-to-face work from Looe and secure online sessions in English, with attention to timing and continuity that suits adolescents, adults and older clients. In-session I make focused, compassionate observations, help trace links between past and present, and may suggest brief reflective tasks between meetings to deepen insight. This approach suits those seeking grounded understanding of anxiety, addiction, mood or relational difficulties.
