Rachel Strange, NCPS

Rachel Strange is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification. She has supported people through stress and anxiety, depression, feelings of being lost, relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, motivation struggles, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She also welcomes neurodiverse and neurodivergent clients and brings experience working with a wide range of life transitions and relational issues.

Rachel aims to offer a warm, empathic space where clients can explore the difficulties that have brought them to counselling. Sessions are paced to each person’s readiness, allowing individuals to work at their own depth while Rachel provides steady, nonjudgmental support. She believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be drawn on to address painful or worrying patterns.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Rachel is committed to walking alongside clients as they uncover resources, confront painful experiences, and build the coping skills needed to move forward. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respect for individual pace, and a focus on strengths throughout the therapeutic process.

Client-Centered Care and Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. It emphasizes empathy, active listening, and acceptance so that individuals can explore feelings and make sense of their experiences without pressure to follow a predetermined path. This approach is helpful for people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Rachel also works from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on the client’s existing resources and capabilities. This way of working supports people in recognizing what already helps them cope and building on those skills to meet current challenges such as stress, family conflict, or coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions offered online - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to engage from locations that work for them and to choose formats that suit their communication style and schedule.
