About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues and caregiving stress.
Rachel keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens and asks questions that help people notice patterns and make small changes. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage feelings and day-to-day demands rather than offering quick fixes or diagnoses.
Her approach draws on the person-centred tradition, which means she follows the client’s pace and priorities. She aims to reflect what people say and help them find their own answers. Rachel also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside this listening approach to address specific problems when helpful.
Rachel’s own life experience has included serious illness, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, and a prior career in business leadership. She says those experiences inform how she relates to people dealing with change, loss and role transitions. She does not present personal history as expertise, but as lived context for her work.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with adults in the UK. The payment model uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Rachel works from a person-centred foundation, which means she listens carefully and follows the client’s lead. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of complicated feelings, such as loyalty conflicts in new households or grief after loss.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems. These methods involve practical exercises and conversations that help people spot unhelpful thinking, manage stress reactions, and build small coping skills for everyday life. They can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and adapting to role changes like step-parenting.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with each person and test what fits best based on goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list explicit session types. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session that fits into a lunch break or school run.
