About Rachel
BACP. 3 years' experience. Rachel Sprunt works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, and she names additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress. She offers straightforward, person-centred counselling and invites people who feel overwhelmed or stuck to talk things through at their own pace.
Rachel describes her way of working as person-centred, which means she listens and reflects rather than giving directions. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what the client brings. She aims to help people notice their own thoughts and feelings more clearly so they can make choices that fit their life.
Her personal experience with cancer, divorce, parenting and career change informs how she understands loss, role shifts and practical pressures. She draws on that lived insight alongside a background in leadership and business to offer clarity and practical focus when needed. Rachel does not present herself as an expert in other people's lives but as a professional who will sit with difficult feelings and practical decisions.
Work often involves talking about grief, anxious thoughts, self-worth and practical coping strategies. Rachel also accepts referrals around ageing and geriatric issues, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, issues linked to sexual expression including BDSM and kink, and long-term health concerns that affect daily life.
Sessions are held in English and the counsellor works from the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. The subscription-based session model is used and can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Rachel works in a person-centred way, which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a conversational, non-directive space to make sense of feelings such as grief, anxiety or low self-esteem.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with practical coping. These techniques might include straightforward methods to manage anxious thoughts and build everyday routines, and approaches that support processing loss and making decisions after life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and agree what fits best with your goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or health limitations, and can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio-only contact when video is difficult, while others choose longer video sessions for a fuller conversation. These practical options can help counselling slot into everyday life.
