About Rachel

Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite themselves. She writes in a straightforward way and creates a non-judgemental space for clients to speak honestly. Rachel welcomes conversations about anxiety, depression, grief and life changes, and helps people make sense of difficult feelings at their own pace.

Her practice draws on the person-centred tradition, which means she aims to listen closely and follow the client's lead rather than impose solutions. Sessions focus on what feels most important to the individual, with attention to building clearer self-understanding and practical ways to cope. Rachel also pays attention to issues such as codependency, stress, self-esteem and coping during illness.

Rachel brings three years of counselling experience and a background of over a decade in leadership and business. That combination shapes her style - caring and honest, with a practical focus when needed. She also speaks from personal experience of cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, which informs her empathy in sessions.

She is registered with the BACP, which is stated as her credential. Rachel works from the United Kingdom and offers help in English. International clients are not accepted at present.

Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

How Rachel uses talking therapy online

Rachel works from a person-centred perspective which focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, anxious or unsure, because the counsellor reflects back what is said and helps the person notice their own thinking and choices.

She also brings practical coaching experience from her previous leadership roles. That means sessions often combine gentle exploration with clear, practical steps to try between meetings. This can help people manage stress, low mood, codependency patterns and life transitions by turning insights into small actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to test what helps most, adjusting style and pacing to match their goals and preferences. The aim is to work together on how to make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as they are not specified here. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to agree how sessions will fit into your routine and what will work best for you.
