Rachel Sprunt

Rachel Sprunt is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Rachel’s style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at people who feel stuck after a change or who are unsure what comes next.

She comes from a background in leadership and business and brings that practical focus into sessions. Rachel uses person-centred ways of working, listening closely and helping clients notice what matters to them. She encourages people to name small steps and try them between meetings.

Rachel has lived experience of serious life changes including cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting. She says those experiences influence how she listens and responds, rather than giving fixed answers. In sessions she balances gentle challenge with straightforward feedback when it is helpful.

People often come with a mix of worries: grief alongside anxiety, or low self-worth after a relationship ends. Rachel works with those layers and helps people sort out immediate coping from longer term questions about direction and purpose. She uses everyday language and focuses on what can be tried next.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. The process for starting is simple: follow the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are provided using a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Rachel Uses and how online work fits

Rachel primarily draws on person-centred ways of working, which means she focuses on listening, reflecting back what a client says, and helping a person notice their own priorities and strengths. This approach suits people who want a conversational, client-led space to sort through decisions and doubts.

She also uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address immediate symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. These techniques involve noticing unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioural changes. That combination helps with coping day-to-day while also looking at longer term questions about purpose and direction.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to agree what to try first, review how it feels, and adjust as needed. The emphasis is on testing small changes and finding methods that match someone’s needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between busy days, or making it simpler to schedule sessions around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy feel manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
