Rachel Strange, NCPS

Rachel Strange helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures and low self-esteem. Rachel also works with trauma, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She practises from the United Kingdom and holds an NCPS credential. Rachel offers a calm, warm presence in sessions. She creates space for clients to talk at their own pace and go at a depth that feels manageable. The work begins by listening to what matters to the person in front of her and building on the strengths they already have. Her approach centres on client-centred therapy, which means conversations are guided by the client’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Sessions are conversational and reflective, helping people notice patterns, make small changes and try different responses in day-to-day life. Rachel has three years of experience working with adults on a range of concerns from chronic stress to long-term family problems. She has a particular interest in supporting people who identify as neurodiverse or neurodivergent and those coping with chronic illness and caregiver stress. People who choose Rachel can expect a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore difficult feelings and practical next steps. She encourages gradual progress and focuses on helping clients build resilience and clearer communication in relationships.

Client-focused approaches and online care

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. It involves active listening, empathy and gentle reflection so people can make sense of difficult feelings and decide what changes matter to them. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and the stress of life transitions.

Rachel will work collaboratively to find the right way forward. She will discuss the approaches that fit a client's needs and goals and adapt the pace and focus as those needs change. Choosing a method is treated as a shared decision rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and try different formats to see what works best.
