Rachel Strange , NCPS

Rachel Strange is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She works with issues such as family conflict, grief and loss, self-esteem, relationship difficulties and parenting strain. Rachel also helps with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and concerns about intimacy or career direction. Her style is warm and empathic. Sessions are set at the client’s pace and focus on uncovering strengths alongside difficult feelings. Rachel believes people are the experts in their own stories and listens with curiosity to each person’s experience. She uses a client-centred approach, offering a supportive space rather than telling people what to do. The counselling relationship is used to explore patterns, difficult memories and current stresses, and to build practical coping strategies. Rachel has three years’ experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She has worked with neurodiverse and neurodivergent clients and pays attention to different ways of thinking and sensing the world. People come to Rachel when they feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotion, or unsure how to move forward after a loss or separation. She helps people notice strengths, practise new ways of coping, and make steady changes that fit their lives.

How Rachel’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting therapeutic relationship where the person feels heard. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps clarify feelings, and supports people to find their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship concerns.

Online work with this approach keeps the same emphasis on listening and collaboration. The therapist will help you decide which ways of working suit your needs and goals. Together you will try different methods and agree what helps most, adjusting as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online sessions include flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
