Rhea Pearse, BACP

Rhea Pearse offers calm, steady support for people facing trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping each person work out what they need and what steps feel right. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical ways to move forward.

Rhea trained and practised in the United Kingdom and has 12 years of professional experience. She also has experience as a counselling supervisor and has managed a team of therapists. That background means she is used to working with complex situations and coordinating care with sensitivity.

In sessions she adapts the plan to fit the person in front of her. Conversations tend to be straightforward and centred on the client’s priorities. She supports people as they explore difficult memories, build self-worth, and manage symptoms of stress and post-traumatic responses.

Rhea works with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, abandonment and attachment difficulties. She also helps those dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness and low confidence. Practical tools and focused conversations are used alongside careful listening.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused work. People who choose her can expect a collaborative process that aims to clarify goals and find manageable steps forward. Rhea welcomes enquiries from across the United Kingdom and from international clients in English.

How Rhea's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the person uncover what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs space to explore feelings and rebuild confidence.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what changes the person wants to see. It is useful when people want quick, goal-oriented work and clear actions to try between sessions.

Rhea will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. Together they will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans as progress is made. Deciding on an approach is part of the therapy, not a one-off choice.

Online sessions offer flexibility that can suit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and facial cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in or have shorter, written conversations that may feel less confronting. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to provide ongoing support across the United Kingdom and internationally.
