About Rachel
Rachel Strange works on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, and coping with life changes. She practices in the UK and is registered with NCPS, with three years' experience.
Rachel uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's own experience at the centre of sessions. She helps people talk through what is worrying them, spot strengths they already have, and decide what they want to try next. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what matters now.
She also supports people with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas she works with include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver strain, and communication problems.
Rachel aims to help clients manage emotional overwhelm and practical problems. In conversation she will listen, reflect and help clients identify small, achievable steps they can take between sessions. The approach is straightforward and rooted in the client's own priorities.
Her three years of practice include helping people through separation, domestic violence effects, bereavement, and the difficulties of long-term health conditions. She works in English and does not take international clients. To start, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
How client-centred work adapts to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience and choices at the heart of sessions. It involves open listening, reflective responses and support for people to make their own decisions. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and adjustments to life change.
Rachel will work collaboratively to find which ways of working fit best. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust the approach as the work progresses. Finding the right fit is part of the sessions themselves rather than a fixed starting point.
The practical benefits of online counselling include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work, childcare or medical appointments. Online ways of meeting can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in or a longer session without travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they suit your circumstances.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
