About Rhea

Rhea Pearse is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, grief or low self-worth. She offers calm, respectful listening and practical steps so people can begin to feel steadier and more able to cope. Her approach is straightforward and warm, and she works at the pace each person needs.

Rhea trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is noted as part of her background.

Background and approach

She has experience supporting people affected by sexual assault, domestic violence and other forms of abuse. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-love and confidence. In sessions she adapts methods to each person.

Rhea uses client-centred ways of working so the person's experience guides the pace. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and trauma-focused techniques when past harm is central to a person's distress. She has experience supervising other counsellors and managing a team of therapists, which informs her reflective, team-minded approach.

Work with her typically involves talking through events, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between sessions to test what helps. Rhea supports people from the United Kingdom and internationally, and she offers different online session formats to fit busy lives. If someone is considering therapy, she encourages an initial step of a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit.

How Rhea’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most, helping someone find their own solutions and build confidence. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to talk.

Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps that can make a difference fast. It helps set realistic short-term goals and test what works between sessions, which can be useful for problems like stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on how past harm affects current life and uses structured steps to reduce the ongoing impact of those memories and reactions.

Choosing the right way to work is part of the early sessions. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That plan can change over time if something else seems more helpful.

Online therapy lets people access these approaches without travel. Video calls are close to face-to-face and good for seeing body language. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or to choose shorter, more frequent contacts. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
