About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth online support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She writes plainly and listens with warmth, aiming to help clients talk through anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Rachel keeps sessions straightforward and paced to each person’s needs.
She works from a person-centred outlook and focuses on helping people find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions.
Background and approach
That means more listening and reflective conversation, with gentle challenges when they help move things forward. Her style is empathetic and practical, grounded in everyday language rather than clinical jargon. Rachel draws on life experience alongside professional practice.
She has navigated cancer, divorce, motherhood, step-parenting and career change, and says those experiences shape her empathy and honesty. Before training as a counsellor she spent over a decade in leadership and business, which she uses to bring clarity and focus to sessions.
With three years of counselling experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she aims to create a steady, human space for difficult conversations. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online so clients can connect from their own routines. If someone is unsure about starting, Rachel aims to make the first steps simple.
She encourages people to go at their own pace and to explore what they need together, beginning with small, practical steps in the room.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rachel primarily works from a person-centred perspective, which means sessions focus on careful listening, reflection and helping people find their own answers. This approach suits issues like anxiety, grief and life changes where understanding and being heard are central.She also draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support coping and problem-solving. These techniques aim to build skills for managing stress and low mood, such as paced breathing, grounding strategies and breaking problems into smaller steps. They can help when anxiety feels overwhelming or when life changes need practical navigation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss different ways of working and tailor the mix to a person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations where seeing facial expression matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who prefer typing or need to fit contact around busy days. These options make it easier to access a therapist without travel and to fit support into everyday life.
