About Rachel

Rachel Strange is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, life changes and parenting strain. Rachel also works with neurodiverse and neurodivergent clients and addresses concerns such as trauma, anger and compassion fatigue.

Rachel aims to create a warm, empathic space where people can talk through what is troubling them. Sessions move at the client’s pace, with the therapist alongside as they identify strengths and uncover painful patterns. The emphasis is on listening and on helping people use their own resources to cope better.

Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on building a trusting relationship and responding to each person without judgement. Rachel uses this style to help people feel heard and to explore issues like attachment, abandonment and body image concerns. She also supports those managing chronic illness, caring responsibilities and complex life transitions.

With three years of experience and the NCPS credential, Rachel offers practical, down-to-earth support rather than quick fixes. She works to help clients find clearer thinking, steadier moods and more manageable day-to-day routines. Rachel encourages small, achievable steps that fit into busy lives.

To begin, clients follow the site’s start process and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions are delivered in English and Rachel does not accept international clients at this time.

How Rachel’s client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on an accepting, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the conversation. The therapist listens closely and reflects what is said to help clarify feelings and choices; this can support issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.

Rachel uses this approach to create space for people to name what matters to them. She supports exploration of attachment, abandonment and body image concerns by responding to each person’s experience rather than imposing a set plan. This helps when someone is unsure what they need to change.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Rachel will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each client and together decide what approach fits best. That collaborative step helps shape what a course of sessions looks like and what to focus on first.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified on the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that regular sessions delivered remotely still allow meaningful progress and clearer daily routines.
