About Rachel
Rachel Strange is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and family problems. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem, life changes, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and career concerns. Rachel works with clients who identify as neurodiverse and those managing ADHD. She holds an NCPS credential.
Rachel aims to create a warm, empathic space where people can talk about what feels hard. Sessions move at each person’s pace. She encourages clients to notice their strengths and to name the painful or worrying parts of their lives.
Her way of working follows client-centred therapy. That means the conversation centres on the person and their experience rather than on the counsellor directing the session. Rachel listens, reflects and offers a steady presence so clients can explore feelings and choices.
Over three years of practice, Rachel has worked with a range of concerns from attachment and abandonment issues to body image, chronic illness and bereavement. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and domestic violence-related distress. Her background includes supporting caregivers and those facing co-morbidity and complex life stressors.
Rachel describes the first steps as collaborative. She encourages people to be curious about what they want from counselling and to bring that into sessions. Your counsellor will help you try different ways of making change and noticing what helps most.
How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and lets the person lead the pace and topics. This approach is helpful for anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship issues and grief because it creates space to understand feelings and choices.Rachel also emphasises collaboration in deciding how to work together. She will check in about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adjust the way she responds to fit each person's needs. Finding the right fit is part of the process rather than a one-time decision.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It can also help people keep appointments when mobility, illness or caregiving duties make travel difficult. A therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help you choose how to proceed so sessions fit your everyday life.
