About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor who offers warm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She makes space for worries about stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Rachel writes plainly and listens without judgement so clients can take things at their own pace.
She draws on a person-centred way of working, staying alongside clients rather than directing them. That means sessions focus on what feels most important to each person and on helping them notice their own choices. Rachel aims to be clear and practical while also holding gentle challenge when it seems helpful.
Her life experience informs her work; she has lived through cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, and reinvented her career. Those experiences shape her empathy and honesty, and she uses them to connect rather than to assume expertise in another person’s story.
Rachel also brings a background of over a decade in business leadership. That history supports clients who want structure, clarity and practical next steps alongside emotional work. She balances compassion with focused planning when people want to move forward.
Rachel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you are unsure whether counselling is right for you, starting a conversation is a simple first step.
How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling
Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist provides a non-judgemental space and reflects what you say so you can hear your own thoughts more clearly. This approach helps when people feel unsure about choices, identity or how to move through difficult emotions.Evidence-based techniques are also used to make sessions practical. These methods involve noticing patterns in thinking and behaviour and trying small, manageable changes to reduce stress and lift mood. That kind of work suits issues such as anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then try ways of working that feel most helpful. You and the therapist can adjust style and pace as you go, so therapy stays relevant to your needs.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online counselling helps them fit sessions into busy lives, whether it means swapping a commute for a single call, using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or choosing audio rather than video when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can support goal-focused work through these flexible arrangements.
