About Rachel

Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She offers a warm, down-to-earth approach and creates a calm space where people can talk through anxiety, grief, or major life changes at their own pace. Rachel presents as straightforward and relatable, and she acknowledges how hard taking the first step can feel.

Rachel works from a person-centred tradition, which means she listens closely and supports people to find their own answers rather than directing them. Her own life experience - including cancer, divorce, motherhood, step-parenting and career change - informs her empathy and plain-speaking style. This background helps her sit with people through difficult material without judgement.

Before training as a counsellor she had over a decade of leadership experience in business. She brings that clarity and focus into sessions, gently challenging where useful and offering practical help with decision-making and coping strategies. Rachel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her main concerns include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also lists a wider range of focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Rachel works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Rachel draws from a person-centred approach, which centres on listening and supporting people to find their own answers. This method helps when someone feels unsure about choices or needs space to process emotions such as grief or anxiety.

She also uses practical, goal-focused ways of working borrowed from evidence-based techniques to help with coping and decision-making. These approaches break down problems into manageable steps and offer tools to reduce overwhelm and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they try different ways of working and adapt the plan as progress is made.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions that match everyday schedules. Registered and accredited professionals often find that remote sessions help people maintain continuity of care and access support from wherever they live.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
