Rhea Pearse, BACP

Rhea Pearse is a United Kingdom trained therapist with 12 years of professional experience and additional training as a counselling supervisor. She has previously managed a team of therapists and brings that clinical and managerial experience to her therapeutic work. Rhea approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring treatment plans to reflect individual needs and goals. She creates a non-judgmental space where people can explore concerns, set personal objectives, and work toward rediscovering a stronger sense of self.

Her practice includes significant experience supporting survivors and carers, and she has helped people facing trauma, attachment difficulties, depression, anxiety, loneliness, loss of self, and low confidence. Rhea also focuses on areas such as abandonment, domestic violence, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexual assault and abuse, and women's issues. She frames seeking help as a courageous step and aims to support and empower clients as they move through that process.

Rhea holds the BACP credential, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she offers a collaborative, client-centered approach that adapts to each person’s circumstances and priorities.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rhea Pearse draws on client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping people explore their feelings and personal goals while being treated with empathy and respect - it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, loss of identity, and relationship concerns.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps, supporting clients to identify small, achievable changes that move them toward their goals. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to address the effects of traumatic experiences and related symptoms, offering targeted support for survivors and those dealing with post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rhea works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Rhea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from various locations and to fit therapy into everyday life.
