About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Rachel speaks English and aims to support people who feel overwhelmed or stuck in early adulthood transitions.
Rachel uses a person-centred style that focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. She offers straightforward conversation rather than prescriptive advice. Sessions tend to be calm and conversational, with gentle challenge when it helps someone take a next step.
Her background includes more than a decade in leadership and business before training as a counsellor. That experience influences her practical approach to problems such as career change, role transitions and the pressure of balancing work and family. She also draws on personal experience of illness, divorce and step-parenting when relating to clients facing complex life events.
Alongside core concerns like anxiety and depression, Rachel has supported people with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and relationship patterns such as codependency and commitment worries. She also lists experience with autism and alternative sexual cultures among her focus areas.
Therapy with Rachel is described in plain terms: talking things through at your own pace, noticing patterns, and trying small practical steps. Sessions sit within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. If you want to try working together, you begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Approaches Rachel Uses and how online sessions work
Rachel describes a person-centred approach that focuses on listening, reflection and helping people find their own answers. This approach helps with feelings of overwhelm, low self-esteem and the uncertainty that comes with life changes by prioritising the client’s perspective and pace.She also draws on practical techniques from evidence-based therapy to help with stress and anxiety. These techniques often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practising small behavioural experiments, and trying short skills between sessions to test what helps in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process is gradual - the first sessions are often about understanding priorities and testing a small, manageable plan together.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy around study, shifts or family commitments because it removes travel time and can be scheduled more flexibly. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when weeks are busy and options that reduce the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which formats they offer and how to make sessions work with your everyday routine.
