About Rachel

Rachel Sprunt is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people carrying stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Rachel phrases common struggles plainly and offers an approachable way to talk them through.

She uses a person-centred approach. That means she listens first and follows the client's lead rather than imposing solutions. Sessions focus on helping people notice their own responses, make clearer choices, and find practical ways to cope day to day.

Rachel also draws on personal experience of illness, separation, parenting and career change. She says those life events inform her listening and give practical perspective when people bring difficult situations. This background informs how she supports people managing grief, major change, or chronic health worries.

Her broader work includes concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and support for people involved in kink and alternative sexual culture. She also works with issues linked to ageing, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and complex emotional patterns such as avoidance and antisocial traits.

Sessions are offered in English for people located in the United Kingdom. Rachel's practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are invited to use the platform’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online options button.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online sessions

Rachel practises using person-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. This approach helps people sort through feelings such as shame, guilt or grief by naming them and noticing patterns that keep those feelings stuck.

She also integrates practical, evidence-based techniques to help with coping and day-to-day functioning. These techniques aim to build clearer routines, break unhelpful thought patterns and develop small experiments that test new ways of responding to stress or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about the client’s goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adjust the way sessions are run so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or health-related needs because they remove travel and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to stay in familiar surroundings while they try out new ways of coping.
