About Rhea
Rhea Pearse is a counsellor with 12 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, respectful support for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or depleted. Rhea focuses on helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, stress and the lasting effects of trauma.
She listens closely to each person's story and builds a plan that fits their situation. Rhea uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people find more confidence and clearer direction.
Background and approach
She also works with issues around attachment, abandonment and relationship difficulties. Rhea has experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, and she helps people cope with guilt, shame and loss of self. Her background includes supervising other counsellors and managing a team of therapists, which informs the way she structures sessions and reflects on practice.
Sessions aim to help people identify small, achievable steps and notice change as it happens. Rhea blends client-centred listening with solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused approaches to match what each person needs. People can expect honest feedback and practical ideas alongside steady emotional support.
She welcomes international clients and works in English. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people to her approach and schedule. Rhea presents therapy as a collaborative process designed to restore choice, safety and a stronger sense of self.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small practical steps and quick changes. Sessions identify what is already working and build on those strengths to reach clear goals. This approach can suit people with specific problems or those who want concrete actions between sessions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the lasting effects of traumatic events. It helps people manage symptoms and make sense of how trauma affects relationships and daily life. The work is paced to the individual's needs and aims to restore a sense of stability.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, check what matters most to the person, and adjust methods based on progress and preference. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone fits when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging can keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping therapeutic continuity.
