About Rachel
Rachel Strange is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem and motivation. Rachel also works with concerns linked to trauma, intimacy, anger and compassion fatigue, plus ADHD and neurodiversity-related issues.
Rachel offers a warm, empathic space where people can talk at their own pace. Sessions focus on listening and understanding rather than hurried solutions.
How Rachel works
She aims to help people notice their strengths and make small, manageable steps forward. Her approach is client-centred, which means the conversation follows the person rather than a strict formula. The counsellor asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps people find clearer ways to move through problems.
This style suits issues like feeling stuck, coping with loss, and working through attachment or abandonment worries. Rachel has three years' experience practising in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. She welcomes people who want a steady, supportive presence while they untangle challenging feelings.
Her sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs. People often begin by identifying one or two priorities to work on. Over time the focus can shift as confidence grows and new choices become possible.
Rachel aims to be alongside each person while they build on what already works for them.

Online support options
Client‑centred care delivered online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what is heard and helps the person find their own answers. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, feeling stuck and relationship or attachment concerns.Because the approach is guided by the person's priorities, Rachel will work with each individual to decide what matters most. Together they will try different ways of talking and checking what helps, adjusting the focus as goals and needs change. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, and messaging offers a quieter way to check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around life commitments and different energy levels.
