About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She meets clients with calmness and straightforward care, offering a space where they can talk things through at their own pace without judgement. Rachel’s manner is honest and empathetic, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out.
Her working style is rooted in a person-centred way of counselling, which means she listens carefully and follows what matters to the person in front of her rather than directing the process. She draws on life experience including cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting to relate to the practical and emotional sides of difficult situations.
Rachel also brings a background from over a decade in leadership and business. That experience informs her practical focus and ability to help people sort priorities, make decisions, and rebuild confidence. She balances gentle support with clear questions that help move things forward.
Clients commonly turn to Rachel for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also works with a wide range of additional concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image and attachment-related difficulties.
Rachel is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered online. If you are unsure where to begin, she encourages a short initial step to see if the working style feels right.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online counselling
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques grounded in a person-centred way of working. Person-centred counselling means she listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps clients find their own answers; it is useful for people facing anxiety, loss, low self-esteem and major life changes.She also draws on practical problem-solving skills shaped by her business background. That involves helping people clarify priorities, set small goals and test manageable changes between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you choose methods that fit your needs, goals and how you prefer to work. Together you can try different ways of approaching an issue and decide what feels most helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They also let people meet with a therapist in the United Kingdom from wherever they are based, provided international work is not accepted, so confirm location details when you arrange your first session.
