Rachel Sprunt, BACP

Rachel Sprunt is a qualified counsellor who offers warm, down-to-earth online counselling for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She works from a person-centred tradition, accompanying clients as they explore what matters to them rather than directing or prescribing solutions. This approach is gentle and respectful of each person's pace and perspective. Rachel holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and ethical practice.

Rachel supports people navigating big life changes, carrying grief or anxiety, facing relationship difficulties, or trying to make sense of their identity and self-esteem. Her practice aims to create a calm, supportive space where clients can reflect, process, and consider new ways of coping without judgement. She combines empathy with a clarity born of lived experience, acknowledging that therapy is often most helpful when guided by honesty and practical focus.

Counselling is deeply personal for Rachel. She draws on her own experiences of cancer, divorce, motherhood, step-parenting, and career reinvention to inform a compassionate therapeutic stance - not as expertise in another person s life, but as a foundation for authentic understanding. Before qualifying as a counsellor she spent more than a decade in leadership and business, and she brings that same focus and steady support into her client work. If someone is unsure about starting therapy, Rachel emphasises that reaching out is a brave first step, and she is available to explore what is needed together.

Person-Centred Care and Evidence-Based Support Online

Rachel uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This way of working is helpful for people dealing with grief, anxiety, life transitions, and questions about identity because it prioritises the client s experience and pace.

Alongside that foundation she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques - practical methods shown to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. These techniques can include structured ways to understand feelings, practice new responses, and develop tools for everyday life, which can be particularly useful for stress, low mood, and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She balances supportive exploration with practical steps so clients can move toward the changes they want.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled around work, family, or mobility needs and can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety of formats allows people to choose how they communicate and engage, making it easier to maintain continuity and adapt therapy to everyday life.
