About Rachel

Rachel Sprunt is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite themselves. She offers a calm space where clients can talk through grief, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Rachel writes plainly and listens closely, and she aims to help people find what feels most useful for them.

Rachel follows a person-centred way of working, which means she sits alongside people rather than directing them. Sessions focus on the things a person finds most pressing, and progress moves at a pace that feels manageable. Her style is compassionate and honest, with gentle challenge when that helps.

Her own life has included cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, and a past career in leadership and business. Those experiences inform her empathy and practical thinking, and she draws on them to relate to everyday struggles without assuming she knows the exact answer.

With three years of counselling experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Rachel practices in the United Kingdom and works in English. She does not accept international clients. Practical details such as cost and scheduling follow the platform subscription model, which can be cancelled at any time.

To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Readers are encouraged to check the current session formats before booking to confirm what is offered.

Approaches that guide online counselling and how they help

Rachel draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of grief, anxiety or big life changes without feeling pushed in a direction.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support coping and practical problem solving. These techniques aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, develop clearer ways to manage stress, and try small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences. She encourages honest feedback so the style can be adapted over time.

Confirm the specific session options before booking as the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and appointments, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day, or longer sessions when deeper work is needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online options to help people keep therapy manageable alongside everyday commitments.
