About Rachel
Rachel Strange is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting pressures. She works with those coping with grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem and major life changes. Rachel also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She offers a warm, empathic space where clients can talk at their own pace. Sessions focus on listening closely and reflecting back what matters most. Rachel uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work.
Background and approach
In practice she helps clients spot strengths they may have overlooked. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand. Rachel pays attention to relational patterns and attachment concerns that often sit behind day-to-day stress.
She has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Her work includes supporting people with neurodiversity and those facing chronic illness, caregiver strain or cancer related concerns. Practical problems such as communication breakdowns, commitment worries and family conflict are also addressed.
Sessions are offered online from the United Kingdom in English. Rachel describes therapy as a collaborative process and helps clients set goals that fit their lives. She encourages small steps and clearer choices rather than quick fixes.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own path. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says, helps them identify strengths, and creates space to explore feelings and choices. This approach can be helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns where the client’s perspective guides the work.Rachel treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. Together the client and counsellor identify goals and decide how best to proceed. The therapist adapts tone and pacing to suit each person, and checks in regularly about how the approach is working for them.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
