Rhea Pearse, BACP

Rhea Pearse is a counsellor who focuses on helping people affected by trauma, abuse, depression and anxiety.

About Rhea

Rhea Pearse is a counsellor who focuses on helping people affected by trauma, abuse, depression and anxiety. She writes plainly and meets people where they are. Her style is warm and responsive, aimed at making difficult conversations easier to start.

She has worked in the United Kingdom for 12 years and holds BACP accreditation. That background includes supervising other counsellors and managing a small team, so she is familiar with different ways of working in practice.

Background and approach

In sessions Rhea tailors the plan to the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. Practical steps and short-term strategies are offered alongside deeper work on attachment, abandonment, shame and self-worth.

People who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault or prolonged stress may find the approach steady and paced to their needs. Rhea also supports those coping with relationship strain, family conflict and the long-term effects of trauma such as post-traumatic stress. Her aim is to support and empower people to regain a sense of control and self-compassion.

She invites clients to be involved in planning and to shape the pace of therapy. Rhea works in English and accepts international clients for online sessions.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events. It helps people process memories and reactions and learn ways to feel steadier day to day. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work; the counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions and values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhea will talk through the options with each person, look at their needs and preferences, and agree a plan together. That plan can change over time as goals evolve and new issues come up.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for steady progress in shorter, written exchanges. These options provide flexibility for different routines, travel constraints and day-to-day energy levels.
