About Rachel

Rachel Sprunt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, warm presence for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. Rachel aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace and make sense of difficult feelings.

She draws on a person-centred way of working, which means she stays alongside clients rather than directing them. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people notice their own resources and choices. Rachel describes counselling as a personal commitment and brings genuine honesty to the work.

Her background includes more than a decade in leadership and business before training as a counsellor. That experience shapes a practical style that balances compassion with clear thinking. Rachel has also lived through significant life events such as cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, and says those experiences inform her empathy.

Rachel supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also works with a range of additional concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and matters relating to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture.

Rachel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years' counselling experience and offers sessions in English. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that help people make sense of change

Rachel works from a person-centred base, which means she listens carefully and reflects back what she hears to help people notice their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and making difficult decisions because it prioritises the client’s perspective and pace.

She also brings practical, clarity-focused skills drawn from her leadership and business background. That practical focus can help structure sessions, set achievable steps and review progress when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed. It suits people who want both emotional support and clear next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together you can decide what feels most useful. She frames therapy as a collaboration where direction and pace are agreed rather than imposed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and health commitments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling more flexible to suit everyday life.
