About Rachel

Rachel Strange is a counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with family problems, parenting strain, self‑esteem issues and life changes.

Rachel takes a client-centred approach. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. She listens to personal experience and helps people talk through the concerns that brought them to counselling. The work moves at the client's pace and looks for strengths to build on.

She has experience supporting people who identify as neurodiverse and neurodivergent. Rachel also pays attention to practical pressures such as caregiving demands, chronic illness and career strain. This means conversations can include day-to-day coping as well as longer-term patterns that affect relationships and mood.

People often raise themes of attachment, abandonment and communication problems. Rachel can also address anger, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and the effects of trauma and abuse. Discussions may cover family dynamics and the impact of separation or domestic violence on personal wellbeing.

Sessions are conducted in English in the UK. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Client‑centred work and online sessions

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens without directing the story and reflects what they hear. This approach helps when someone needs space to understand their feelings about family conflict, parenting pressures, grief or anxiety.

Client‑centred work emphasises the individual's perspective and existing strengths. It is often used to steady everyday coping, to talk through relationship concerns, and to make sense of changes after loss or separation. Rachel adapts this way of working to the issues each person brings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify which ways of working suit the person's goals and preferences. Together they adjust the pace and focus as needs change over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by avoiding travel and allowing appointments during breaks. They can also allow shorter or more frequent check‑ins when that better suits work or caring responsibilities.
