About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt greets people with warmth and a straightforward approach. She is a BACP counsellor who offers down-to-earth support for those feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite themselves. Rachel aims to create a calm place to talk things through at the client’s own pace without judgement.
She focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Rachel also works with related concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, cancer, and aspects of sexuality such as kink and BDSM. These topics often come up alongside other difficulties people bring.
Rachel uses a person-centred way of working, which means she walks alongside people rather than directing them. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people notice their own strengths and choices. She blends that relational stance with clarity and practical focus when it is useful.
Her life experience informs her practice. Having navigated cancer, divorce, motherhood, step-parenting and career change, she says those experiences shape her empathy and honesty. Before training as a counsellor, Rachel spent over a decade in leadership and business and brings that steady, organised approach into the room.
Rachel has three years’ counselling experience and works from the United Kingdom. If you are unsure about starting, she asks you to take the first small step and explore what you need together.
Person-centred support and practical focus online
Rachel primarily uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people find their own answers. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions where being heard and reflected back can be the start of change.Alongside that, Rachel brings a pragmatic, clarity-driven stance rooted in her business background. This can involve setting simple goals, checking progress and using practical questions to help untangle confusing feelings or decisions. That combination is useful for people managing stress, caregiving demands, chronic illness or career reinvention.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Rachel treats it as collaborative. She will help clients consider what feels most helpful, adjust the style as work progresses, and agree on practical steps together so therapy fits real life and goals.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make shorter or more focused sessions possible when that better suits a person's schedule.
