About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite themselves. She offers a warm, down-to-earth presence and a calm place to talk through stress, grief, anxiety or big life changes. Rachel presents herself as approachable and honest, and encourages people to take the first step even when they feel unsure.
Her work is rooted in the person-centred tradition, which means she listens closely and follows the pace set by the person in the room. Sessions focus on helping people notice what matters to them and find their own answers rather than being told what to do. Rachel draws on her life experience, including surviving cancer, navigating divorce, parenting and step-parenting, and changing careers.
Before training as a counsellor she spent more than a decade working in leadership and business. That background informs a practical style that balances compassion with gentle challenge when needed. Rachel holds BACP, which is listed as her credential.
She commonly supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Other areas she addresses include caregiver stress, chronic illness and ageing and geriatric issues among a broader range of concerns.
If someone is new to counselling, Rachel asks them to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. She encourages a collaborative, paced approach so people can try counselling without pressure.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques within a person-centred way. Person-centred work focuses on listening without judgement, reflecting what people say, and following their pace to explore feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and making sense of life changes.She also draws on practical, solution-focused ideas from her background in leadership and business. These are brief, action-oriented steps that can help with stress, decision-making and coping strategies during difficult periods.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Rachel will work with each person to try different ways of working and settle on what feels most helpful. She discusses goals, preferences and how sessions are going so the plan can change as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or caring commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a busy day. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they fit your needs.
