About Rhea
Rhea Pearse greets visitors with a calm, straightforward approach. She is a counsellor with 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She aims to make sessions understandable and practical for people worried about anxiety, trauma and relationship strain.
Rhea adapts each session to the person's needs. She listens without judgement and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Conversations can cover feelings of depression, stress, guilt, shame, and the effects of past abuse or attachment wounds.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with survivors and carers, and experience managing a team of therapists. She also has training as a counselling supervisor, which she brings into how she plans and reflects on care. This mix of hands-on practice and supervisory experience informs a thoughtful clinical style.
In session she uses straightforward methods that focus on the person's immediate concerns and long-term wellbeing. That can mean looking at practical steps to reduce anxiety or concentrating on healing from trauma in a paced way. Sessions aim to build self-trust and clearer decision-making.
Rhea welcomes people who want support with stress, anxiety, post-traumatic reactions, relationship difficulties, and issues related to self-worth. She works collaboratively to map out next steps and to help people feel more able to manage everyday life. If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.
Rhea supports international clients and runs sessions in English.
How Rhea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the person's pace and helps them name feelings and priorities, which can be useful for anxiety and relationship worries.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It is often used when someone wants quicker changes in day-to-day coping or to reduce stress with achievable actions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events in a careful, paced way. It aims to reduce the hold of past experiences and support rebuilding self-trust and safety in relationships.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and try options that suit you. They will check in and adapt the way they work as you progress.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and share materials, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on progress.
