Rachel Sprunt

Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She writes in a warm, down-to-earth way and offers a calm space to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Rachel emphasises listening first and meeting each person where they are.

Her style is grounded in the person-centred tradition, which means she accompanies people rather than directing them. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a pace that feels safe. Rachel aims to help people notice their own answers and make choices that fit their life.

Rachel draws on life experience alongside three years of counselling work. She has navigated serious personal challenges including cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, and she says those experiences inform her empathy and honesty in sessions. Before training as a counsellor she spent over a decade in leadership and business, and she brings clarity and practical thinking to therapy.

She lists a wide range of focus areas beyond common concerns, including attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, along with body image and relationship-related worries. Intellectual disability appears among the practice areas she notes.

Rachel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, people follow the site Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit your life

Rachel emphasises a person-centred approach, which centres on listening and supporting each person to find their own direction rather than being told what to do. This approach is useful when someone needs space to process emotions like grief, anxiety or low self-esteem.

She also brings practical clarity from her background in leadership and business, helping people turn conversations into manageable steps and decisions. That practical focus can help when coping with major life changes, chronic illness, caregiver strain or stress that interferes with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Rachel works collaboratively to identify which ways of working fit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the focus over time as the work develops. The aim is to agree on a style that feels helpful and realistic.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or health needs and reduces travel time. It can also allow quieter check-ins when a shorter conversation is needed, or let someone choose not to use video if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor these practical arrangements to suit everyday life and commitments.
