Seeking help is acknowledged as a courageous step, and Rhea positions her work as empowering and collaborative. While she brings extensive experience with trauma and related concerns, she prioritises the unique context and priorities of each client when planning therapy and supervision.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rhea works with several evidence-informed approaches tailored to individual needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience, offering empathic listening and support to help people explore their feelings, rebuild self-worth, and make choices that reflect their values and goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and practical, concentrating on strengths and small, actionable steps to create change for issues such as low confidence, stress, or relationship difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences, helping people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing effects so that daily life and relationships can improve.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and often evolves over time. Rhea works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and where people access support. Sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternatives for those who prefer writing or need shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or long-distance arrangements and support access for international clients and those with mobility or scheduling constraints.
