Rachel Strange, NCPS

Rachel Strange is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She helps those feeling lost, struggling with relationships, dealing with grief, or managing low self-esteem. Rachel also works with clients living with ADHD and neurodiversity and offers a calm, empathic presence during difficult conversations.

Rachel aims to create a warm space where people can talk at their own pace. She encourages clients to notice their existing strengths and to use those as a base for change. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her rather than forcing a fixed agenda.

Her style is gentle and collaborative. Rachel listens for patterns in relationships, attachment and communication that might be contributing to distress. Together she and the client look at small, practical ways to cope with day-to-day pressures and emotional pain.

Rachel uses a client-centred approach that keeps the client’s goals central. This means she follows the person’s lead and reflects back what she hears, helping people make sense of their experience. That approach is often helpful for issues like intimacy, family problems, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes.

With three years of experience and an NCPS credential, Rachel draws on straightforward conversation rather than jargon. She invites people to explore their story, build confidence, and find ways to move forward at a manageable pace.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s priorities. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what they hear, helps clarify feelings, and supports the client to make decisions that suit their life. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and coping with major life changes.

Rachel aims to be collaborative when considering approaches. She will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to match goals and preferences. Working together helps identify small steps that can be practised between meetings and adjusted as progress is made.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face connection, while others prefer audio for less screen time; Rachel will discuss what might work best during the initial arrangements.
