About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt introduces herself simply and directly. She is a counsellor with a warm, down-to-earth manner who offers online support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. Rachel aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through anxiety, grief, stress and changes in life.
She works from a person-centred approach, which means she listens and reflects rather than telling people what to do. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and proceed at their pace. Rachel emphasises helping people find their own answers and build confidence in making choices.
Rachel draws on broad life experience alongside her counselling practice. She has faced cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, and says those experiences shape her empathy and honesty. Before qualifying she worked for more than ten years in leadership and business, and she brings that practical clarity into sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward, compassionate conversation that may be gently challenging when needed. Rachel aims to balance emotional support with practical thinking about next steps and coping strategies. Her style is plainspoken and human rather than clinical.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rachel has three years of professional experience and works from the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure about starting, she invites them to take the first step and explore what they need together.

Approaches that guide online counselling and what to expect
Rachel uses a person-centred approach which focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify feelings, rebuild confidence, or decide on next steps in life.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical coping. These techniques include structured conversations about thoughts and behaviours to help manage anxiety and depression, and emotion-focused work to process grief and loss. Each method is chosen to fit the issue being worked on and the person's preferences.
Rachel treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to try methods that suit their goals and adjust as needed. The aim is to build an approach together that feels useful and manageable day to day.
Confirm the session formats directly before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and help fit sessions into a busy life. It also allows for shorter check-ins or different ways of meeting depending on energy, work breaks or quieter surroundings. Discussing practical arrangements early helps match the way of working to the person's routine and needs.
