Rachel Sprunt, BACP

Rachel Sprunt is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She describes herself as a real person behind the title and focuses on making therapy approachable and straightforward. Rachel aims to help clients make sense of big life shifts, grief, anxiety or low self-esteem in a way that suits their pace and priorities.

Her work emphasises a person-centred way of meeting people. That means she listens first, follows what matters to the person in the room, and helps them notice choices and options rather than prescribing solutions. Sessions are framed as a shared process where the client’s experience is central.

Rachel brings three things from her earlier life into counselling: long experience in leadership and business, personal experience of serious illness and family change, and a practical, problem-solving focus. Those elements shape how she holds conversations - warm but clear, and willing to challenge gently when it helps progress.

She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Rachel also works with related challenges such as attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Her background gives her empathy for complex life circumstances without assuming she has all the answers.

Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Rachel has three years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can offer

Rachel’s practice is described as person-centred, which means she focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s priorities. This approach helps people who need time to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or low self-esteem without feeling rushed.

She also integrates practical, solution-focused thinking drawn from her business background. That brings clarity to goal-setting and helps with real-life problems such as managing stress, role changes or caring responsibilities by breaking issues into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rachel works collaboratively to identify what feels most useful, adjusting the way she works to match a client’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review progress together and shift focus when something isn’t helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing sessions between work commitments, or offering shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to access support from different locations within the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions effective for talking through life transitions and practical coping strategies.
