About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a BACP counsellor who offers warm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She writes in plain terms and makes space for whatever someone brings. Reaching out for help is framed as a brave first step, and Rachel aims to make that step feel manageable.
Rachel draws on the person-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows the pace set by the person in the room. She focuses on helping people untangle anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and life changes. Sessions are framed around what matters to the individual rather than a fixed agenda.
Her own life experience includes surviving cancer, navigating divorce, becoming a mother and step-parenting, and changing careers after a decade in leadership and business. Those experiences shape how she offers honesty, empathy and practical clarity in conversation. She uses plain language and practical questions to help people notice what they want to change.
Rachel works with issues such as self-esteem, coping with illness or chronic pain, caregiver stress, bereavement, and the strain of major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, body image, commitment worries, and the effects of neurodiversity.
Based in the United Kingdom, Rachel brings three years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People can expect a conversational style that balances warmth with gentle challenge when it helps move things forward.

How Rachel approaches therapy online and what to expect
Rachel uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on attentive listening and following the client's pace. This approach helps people clarify feelings, make sense of loss or change, and work through anxiety and low mood by concentrating on what matters to them rather than a fixed technique.She also brings practical conversation and life-experience into sessions, drawing on her background in leadership and the personal challenges she has navigated. That combination can help people move from feeling stuck to making small, manageable changes in day-to-day life.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Rachel will work collaboratively to decide what fits best for the person and their goals. She asks about what the client wants to achieve and adjusts the way she works so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and medical appointments. It may also reduce travel time and let people join from a quieter place or a break at work, while keeping session lengths and scheduling flexible to suit everyday life.
