About Rachel

Rachel Sprunt works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or not themselves. She offers down-to-earth counselling for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Rachel is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience as a counsellor.

Rachel uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens without directing and aims to help clients notice their own solutions. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the client right now. She describes her role as walking alongside someone rather than giving instructions.

Her background includes more than a decade in leadership and business before retraining in counselling. That work informs a practical, clear way of thinking in sessions and an interest in life transitions such as career change and relationship shifts. Rachel also draws on lived experience, including surviving cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, which she says informs how she relates to people in difficult times.

She works with a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas above, including attachment issues, abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, autism and Asperger Syndrome, commitment and codependency issues, and matters related to kink and alternative sex culture. Rachel frames these topics as things she can talk through with individuals to help them make sense of their situation and find practical ways forward.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. The counsellor uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How Rachel uses common approaches in online counselling

Rachel describes her practice as rooted in person-centred work, so sessions focus on listening, reflecting and supporting a person to find their own solutions. This approach can help with low mood, grief and making sense of big life changes.

She also brings practical, goal-aware thinking from her leadership background to sessions, which can be useful when addressing issues like stress, career transitions and coping strategies. That practical element means sessions can involve setting small, realistic steps between meetings.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Rachel will discuss different ways of approaching your concerns and choose together with you, based on your needs, goals and what feels most useful. The choice of approach can change over time as contact progresses.

The biography does not specify which session formats are provided, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to help people access care alongside other commitments, and Rachel aims to help clients arrange sessions that fit practical day-to-day needs.
