About Rachel
Counsellor Rachel Sprunt is BACP registered and has three years' experience offering counselling in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, grieving, or coping with life changes, and she also addresses self-esteem concerns.
Rachel uses a person-centred style that emphasises listening and collaboration. She aims to help people talk through what matters to them and to find their own way forward at a pace they can manage. Sessions are described plainly and without pressure to have everything figured out immediately.
Her life experiences have shaped her work. She has lived through cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, and a period of career change. Before training as a counsellor she worked for over ten years in leadership and business, and she draws on that background when people seek practical clarity alongside emotional support.
Rachel works with a wide range of specific concerns beyond the main areas listed. These include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family matters, and aspects of sexual culture such as BDSM and kink. She also notes experience with neurodiversity and personality presentations such as avoidant or antisocial traits.
Sessions use a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Rachel applies therapeutic approaches to online counselling
Rachel works from a person-centred foundation, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers. This approach is suited to people who need time to reflect, process grief, or make decisions about life changes.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to inform sessions. For example, techniques that help manage anxiety and depression often include practical strategies for recognising patterns of thought and testing them in daily life. Another common approach is using structured conversations to break down large problems into smaller steps, which can help with overwhelm and planning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and may change as the work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make fitting counselling into a busy week easier and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that fit around childcare or work breaks, depending on the format offered.
