Rachel Sprunt, BACP

Rachel Sprunt is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers warm, down-to-earth online counselling for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or out of step with themselves. With three years of professional practice and a decade of prior leadership experience in business, she combines practical clarity with genuine empathy to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes.

Working from a person-centred foundation, Rachel prioritises listening and walking alongside clients rather than prescribing solutions. She creates a calm, nonjudgemental space where people can explore difficult emotions and rediscover their own answers at their own pace. Her approach is influenced by lived experience - including cancer, divorce, motherhood, step-parenting, and career reinvention - which informs her capacity to sit with others in hard times without assuming she knows their story.

Rachel supports people through relationship challenges, identity questions, coping with loss, and the transitions that life brings, offering compassionate yet gently challenging guidance when it is helpful. Sessions are offered online in formats that suit individual needs, and she aims to make each person feel understood, respected, and equipped to move forward.

Person-centred care meets evidence-based online support

Rachel primarily works from a person-centred approach, which focuses on genuinely listening, offering empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions. This style is useful for people processing grief, life transitions, identity questions, and relationship challenges because it centres the client’s experience and pace.

Alongside this, she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques - structured methods drawn from research that help with symptoms of anxiety, stress, low mood, and coping difficulties. These techniques give practical tools to manage thinking patterns, emotional responses, and day-to-day coping while remaining connected to the person-centred focus on the individual.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Rachel is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and communication styles. This range of options makes it easier to access support from home, work, or wherever is most comfortable, while keeping the therapeutic relationship central to the process.
