Rhea Pearse offers calm, focused support for people coping with trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel manageable. Her approach aims to help people regain confidence and a sense of direction.

Rhea introduces practical steps and listens carefully so each plan fits the person in front of her. Rhea trained and practised in the United Kingdom and brings 12 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She has also worked as a counselling supervisor and managed a team of therapists. That background informs how she plans sessions and responds to complex concerns. In sessions she combines Client-Centred Therapy with Solution-Focused techniques and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

That means she gives space to a person's story, helps identify achievable next steps, and works directly with the impacts of past harm where needed. Rhea has supported people with sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, attachment and abandonment issues. She also helps with guilt and shame, self-worth, stress and the everyday anxiety that gets in the way of life.

People can expect clear, practical conversations about goals and next steps. Rhea tailors each plan so work is realistic and paced to the individual. She welcomes international clients and runs sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rhea uses Client-Centred Therapy to make space for a person's experience and to follow what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to find their own answers at their own pace.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm is affecting daily life. That work addresses the impact of traumatic events and focuses on reducing lasting symptoms and distress related to those experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rhea will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape the work together. This collaborative planning helps make sessions relevant and realistic for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility around busy lives. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can be a short check-in, and text-based messaging allows ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while still getting consistent care from registered or accredited professionals.
